Honouring with care
Gold Coast Funeral Celebrant
When someone you love passes away, it can be difficult to find the right words, and even harder to know where to start.
A funeral or memorial service is more than a formality; it’s a moment to pause, reflect and celebrate a life in a way that feels right. I’m Viv from Vivienne Celebrant, a full-time funeral celebrant on the Gold Coast, and I’m here to help guide you through this process with calm, care and sensitivity. I work across Brisbane, the Scenic Rim and Northern NSW to help families create ceremonies that are deeply personal and respectfully delivered.
Every story is different, and I take the time to listen, learn, and help shape a service that reflects the person you’re saying goodbye to—their personality, values, and impact. If you need a celebrant who’ll walk beside you during this difficult time, please call 0421 311 264. You don’t have to do this alone.
Ceremonies That Honour
Personal, Respectful & Grounded
Every life is unique, and every farewell should acknowledge the deceased with compassion and respect. My purpose is to work alongside you to create a ceremony that gently honours your loved one’s story—whatever your wishes or traditions may be. Together, we’ll thoughtfully explore choices for music, readings, speakers, and how you want the gathering to feel and flow. Whether you have clear ideas or are unsure where to begin, I will walk you through every step, offering guidance and support with care and kindness.
From intimate gatherings to larger tributes, I bring warmth, understanding, and steady organisation to every occasion. Many families tell me they felt overwhelmed at first, but found comfort in having someone calm and attentive to guide them through. My promise is to help you shape an authentic, heartfelt tribute—a meaningful farewell that brings comfort and gentle strength in the midst of grief.

Supporting You with Every Step
Creating Space for Comfort & Reflection
Every family honours a loved one differently. For some, that means a quiet and private farewell; for others, a larger gathering that celebrates a life well lived. I create ceremonies in chapels, gardens, family homes or meaningful outdoor spaces across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Scenic Rim and Northern NSW.
Whether you’re guided by tradition, faith, or simply your own instincts, I’ll help you choose words, music and rituals that feel right. There’s no single way to say goodbye — only the way that best reflects your loved one’s life and values.
My role is to listen, offer ideas, and bring calm organisation, so together we can shape a farewell that feels true, comforting and deeply personal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help families as a funeral celebrant?
As a funeral celebrant, I guide and support you in creating a ceremony that reflects the unique life, values, and personality of your loved one. I’ll meet with you and your family, help write the tribute or eulogy, suggest meaningful readings or music, and deliver the ceremony with care, warmth, and professionalism.
Is a celebrant required for a funeral?
Legally, no. But many families choose to work with a celebrant to ease the emotional and practical load. I bring structure, compassion, and experience to the process, creating a ceremony that’s both personal and respectful, without adding pressure to family or friends.
How can we help you create a meaningful tribute?
I’ll ask you to share whatever you feel comfortable with—stories, memories, milestones, values, and relationships. It doesn’t need to be polished or perfect. Even small details can help me craft a heartfelt tribute that honours your loved one beautifully and honestly.
