In a world that moves too fast, a celebration of life gives us permission to stop — to remember, to feel, and to reconnect through story. These modern Perth farewells aren’t about perfection or formality; they’re about love, laughter, and authenticity. Because grief isn’t an ending — it’s love, finding a new home.

Some lives don’t fit neatly into boxes. They’re wild, honest, and beautifully imperfect — lived with laughter, grit, and a heart wide open. This reflection honours one such woman: a life lived boldly, loved fiercely, and remembered for her unapologetic authenticity. A Perth celebration of life filled with truth, music, and the kind of love that outlives us all.

Not sure how to include a Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country in your wedding? This post breaks it down clearly, respectfully, and shows you how to do it the right way. As a Perth celebrant who gets it.
