Jacqui Williams

Jacqui learnt her craft from Zenith Virago, Deathwalker including completing her Ceremonies Masterclass teachings. Whilst living in the Redlands area (Queensland), she is also available to provide funeral and memorial celebrancy services across the broader Brisbane and Sunshine or Gold Coast areas. Jacqui is also one of Australia's most active End of Life Doulas.

Why I'm a celebrant: Death – although a natural part of life – has such a profound influence on all of us when it happens. It becomes one of our biggest life transitions. Our lives somehow have to learn to adapt to this loss. And the ritual of holding a funeral ceremony or memorial allows an individual, their family, friends, and community to collectively grieve and share whilst remembering the uniqueness of the deceased.

Calmly and compassionately, Jacqui will guide and deliver a ceremony that aims to leave you with a positive memory despite the sadness and loss you may be feeling. Together with you, she will co-craft a funeral or memorial ceremony about your person who has been part of your life – whether for a short or a long time. Whether a story of sadness or celebration. Or both.

Jacqui's business End of Life Transitions evolved from her desire to create a highly personalised experience that allows the family and friends to just "be present" during this important time of transition.

Treasured memories: And for Jacqui, it is an absolute privilege to guide and support you during this difficult time. Ceremonies are about story-telling and rituals. They are from the heart. And it is a great honour and very humbling to be asked to be your Celebrant.

Some testimonials
Wow wow wow. You are a fantastic celebrant! Your service for [“D”] yesterday was nothing short of outstanding. Combined with Wendy at [xyz] Funerals you are a force. Everyone who attended and watched online commented to me about how wonderful you conducted the service. On behalf of [“D’s wife”] and the family we give you a BIG THANK YOU.

Hi Jacqui, Thank you so much for today. We weren’t expecting so many people, we were a little overwhelmed. Everyone said the service was one of the best they have been too. Dad would have liked it, we are so sad we lost our Dad, especially to such a beast of a disease, but we aren’t a sad family, so it was perfect. Thank you once again, both you and [“D,” Funeral Director] made our journey so easy and stress free.

and I'd like to say: I will always bring my calming, authentic self
