      <image:title>Sandie Barnes NSW Celebrant for Weddings, Funerals, Memorials, Baby-Namings</image:title>
      <image:caption>You have found your Celebrant… …a warm and genuine Celebrant who will deliver a truly heartfelt ceremony, that speaks to you, and about you. You will be listened to, and engaged with and together, we will write your words, your way, for your special ceremony, be it wedding, funeral or other celebration of love and life. Your ceremony can include loved ones to give readings, sing a song or recite a poem. Your friends and family will be guided by me as the ceremony proceeds. You will receive many ideas that are the result of my years of research. You will be in safe hands with my experience and knowledge in event management which underpins how I can offer professional tips for the running of your ceremony. I am a wordsmith, a storyteller and often quite witty. Born in Scotland to parents in the music industry, I spent my childhood happily observing a rainbow of characters performing, rehearsing and entertaining. Through this I developed my love for words and music and observed the magic spell they cast upon the listener when put together beautifully with skill and affection. My colourful life has fashioned my outlook: I celebrate love and life in all its myriad of colours, shapes and sizes. Everyone is welcome… I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story…</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sandie Barnes Funeral Celebrant North Shore Sydney Scottish Memorial Pet funeral - Funerals</image:title>
      <image:caption>When a loved one dies, whether it is expected after an extended illness, or sudden and out of the blue, the time immediately after the death can be a strange and overwhelming place to navigate. There are so many arrangements to be made and so much to do and think about at a time when your head and heart may be reeling. Experience with a range of Funeral Directors coupled with my empathetic nature, and training in grief management gained in my Celebrancy course, gives me the ability to help you. I am happy for you to simply call me and discuss any matter relating to the process of commemorating your beloved. After a meeting with yourself, family and friends, I will create a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony with guidance and ideas for the order of service, inclusions, readings, poetry and music.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sandie Barnes Celebrant Baby Naming North Shore Sydney Commitment Memorial Baby Pet Funeral</image:title>
      <image:caption>Naming Ceremony Whether a newborn baby, a teenager, or an adopted child, a naming ceremony can cement the relationship between parents and children, be they adult or infant. It is a time to celebrate the name of your loved one, what that name means, why you chose it, and is a beautiful way to formalise parenthood. Whilst there is no legal element to a naming ceremony, it is a great way to gather the extended family to celebrate young life. I can provide a ceremonial certificate and assist with applying to the Registry for the official birth certificate (if practicable). Memorial Ceremony Sometimes a funeral just wasn’t enough, or you were too numb to appreciate it, or you just feel like there’s more still to say. Perhaps a number of years have elapsed since the death of your beloved and you want to mark the progress of your life since they’ve been absent from it. This is when I can assist in putting together an outline for a beautiful and meaningful memorial ceremony. Commitment Ceremony, Renewal of Vows, Anniversary Celebrations, Pet Memorial Ceremony Please contact me to discuss my range of ceremonies and pricing.</image:caption>
