About Lisa Hartley and Her Funeral Celebrant Services

Memorials, Funerals and Celebrations of Life are a time to remember, to mourn and to begin the process of grieving those who are no longer with us.

However, there is no one “right” way to honour your loss.

You may prefer a traditional funeral mass or a tender graveside ritual.

Perhaps the person who has died said “don’t bother with a ceremony for me ” and you need guidance in sifting through different ideas that address this wish.

Or, you may know precisely what you want but need a skilled professional to officiate, guide and write the ceremony.

With deep experience, both personal and professional, Lisa brings her talent for helping families uncover what is most meaningful for them as they design a ceremony for the person who has died.

She will write, encourage, and inspire you to say what you need to say with confidence.

She listens deeply to the stories about the person who has died.

The first family meeting generally may run for 2 -3 hours so there is time for the stories to unfold.

A client once said, “I feel better already” as they sat together in the first family meeting.

Whatever your culture, circumstance or challenge, Lisa will help you care for, remember, mourn and celebrate your family members and friends.

Lisa will walk with you in experiencing the power of ceremony as well as exploring the myriad emotions that invariably arise when someone dies: grief and guilt, love and loss, healing, grace, and gratitude.

As a certified Life-Cycle® Celebrant, since 2013 Lisa has served 100’s of families in times of great change; in particular weddings, funerals and baby-blessings.

A Tragic Death
5.0
  • Anonymous 5 years ago

Lisa was able to support, very intuitively, generously, and graciously, the process of respectfully honouring my former partner and best friend after his sudden passing. With input from many of his loved ones, she created a ceremony that was performed in two cities for two different groups of his friends that was tremendously heartfelt and filled with more meaning than she could have ever have known. It was hard to believe that she had never met him in person or known of the struggles he had with his mental health prior to his death, but she brought profound meaning to both of the memorial services.

Loss of their beloved Mother

Lisa’s service as my family’s Celebrant went far beyond my expectations. She has been remarkably caring, genuinely compassionate, and has helped me immensely in transitioning to a World without my mother. Though we were meeting for the first time, the attentiveness she brought every time we met was that of a long-time friend. There is an undeniable beauty in the service she provides. I am truly grateful for everything she’s done.
