Farewelling loved ones with
​beautiful, bespoke ceremonies...

"Sometimes,
On our journey through life,
We meet people who leave footprints on our souls."
~ From "Sometimes (Footprints) by Maggie Dent ~

Saying goodbye to the ones we love is probably the hardest thing we'll ever have to do in our lives. 

There are many ways in which you can say farewell, and as a celebrant leading the service, I can say the words that you might find hard to say yourself when you're grieving.

My words are beautiful, evocative, thoughtful, and considered. Importantly, I work with you every step of the way to develop the farewell you want for your loved one.

I am also honoured to work with those people who are planning their own end-of-life farewells, or taking an active role in this process with their loved ones.

Although I am a civil celebrant, I can certainly include religious elements if desired, and can work in tandem with others (including religious representatives) to deliver the farewell as planned.

If you are planning a funeral, memorial, scattering of ashes, placement of ashes or other farewell service for yourself or a loved one in Narromine, Trangie, Warren or Dubbo areas or further afield in central west NSW, I'm here and ready to work with you. 

Kind regards

This is the face behind
"Bespoke By Bonthuys." 
​
Reach out if I can be of service to you.

Bespoke means...

  • A ceremony developed in close consultation with you, delivered with warmth and compassion.
  • Beautiful words that appropriately reflect your loved one's life and achievements.
  • A "keepsake" copy of your loved one's ceremony​.

Why Choose Bespoke By Bonthuys?

There are many thousands of religious and civil celebrants currently in Australia performing funerals, memorials, scattering and placement of ashes - so why choose me? 
  • I'm right here in the central west. Save yourself some money bringing someone in from outside, and 'buy local'!
  • I'm neither "young 'n vibrant" nor "over-the-hill" but somewhere in-between.​ Age is just an attitude - or it should be..
  • I moonlight as an award-winning journalist and published author, so I write beautiful words.​​ 
  • ​I've been a civil celebrant for 20 years and have performed hundreds of ceremonies so you can be confident that I'm experienced and knowledgeable. 
  • I am one of about 100 celebrants in Australia to hold a Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies from Monash University - the highest celebrancy qualification and the only university post-graduate celebrancy qualification in the world. This course is no longer offered, making those who hold the qualification part of a very exclusive group!
