It may be raining today, but yesterday the sky opened up beautifully - just in time to honour a remarkable mom/grandma/great-grandma and the family who loved her so deeply. So grateful for this work I get to do!

I’ve heard it countless times over the years:
“When I die, I don’t want my family to make a fuss. I just want them to keep as much of their inheritance as possible.”

But I like to remind them that “making a fuss” doesn’t have to mean big bucks.

It can be a cozy gathering at home.
Stories shared in the backyard.
Candles and music that feel like THEM.

The key isn’t how fancy it is, but rather it’s how meaningful it feels.

That’s what I help families create: heartfelt ceremonies that honour a life without overspending.

So this is your gentle reminder that it’s not just okay to let them make a fuss. Your loved ones actually need to so that they can begin their grief journey well. ❤️

Hey everyone, I’m Sara and I’m a Funeral Celebrant which means I help families honour their loved ones by crafting and leading ceremonies that actually feel like them—full of story, personality and meaning (instead of cookie-cutter scripts). Since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of families, and I’m more convinced than ever that telling someone’s story well can be one of the most healing things we do.

Beyond services, I also speak and teach about the power of ceremony—whether that’s encouraging seniors to preserve their legacy, training new celebrants, or equipping funeral professionals with tools to meet today’s families in meaningful, memorable ways.

A few fun facts about me:

🌟 I studied English and Drama at McMaster University before finding my way into this work (which explains my love of storytelling).

🌟 I love experimenting in the kitchen and am obsessed with perfecting homemade bone broth amongst other things.

🌟 About a year ago, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Not only did this help bring sense to so many of the challenges I’ve had throughout my life, but I now see it as a total gift I wouldn’t trade. (Thanks Meredith Carder!)

🌟 I got fired 4 days before the end of a summer job at a warehouse for bumping into too many things with a forklift.

🌟 I love the Buffalo Bills and the Toronto Blue Jays but my heart fully belongs to my Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

🌟 At home, I’m a wife and mom/stepmom to four amazing kids in our blended family. Our lives are often chaotic, loud and beautiful, and I’m grateful for all of it… most of the time! 😉

🌟 Lastly, one of my core values is that stories matter. They heal, they inspire, they remind us of who we are—and who we’re becoming.

Now I’d love to know a thing or 2 about you. Comment below with a fun fact, core value or anything else you care to share!

Next week I’ll be at the Ah Ha! Wellness Fair for Ages 55+ at YWCA Hamilton, and I couldn’t be more excited! This event brings together so many amazing organizations dedicated to supporting seniors in living their best lives, and I’ll be sharing ideas for unique, personalized Celebrations of Life that go beyond the “cookie-cutter”. If you or someone you love is a senior in Hamilton, come by and let’s chat!
