Hi, I'm Jill
As a celebrant since 2005, I bring empathy, intelligent listening and stellar communication skills to each of my unique ceremony.
The effort I dedicate to working with both individuals and families is reflected in my client feedback, with every funeral or memorial ceremony tailored from start to finish with deep care and reverence.
My background of living in the UK and extenively overseas enables me to interact effectively and effortlessly with a diverse group of people. I have often been told that I possess both the wisdom and strength to motivate my clients and fully understand their life stories.
The ability to wear many different hats; and to be a interesting and vibrant storyteller and reflective speaker are essential for a good celebrant. I hope to have the chance to meet with you, your family and close friends as appropriate to help you navigate this journey.
"Jill Satin is a Humanist Celebrant who I have recommended to many people who are organizing a funeral or memorial. She has handled every situation with extraordinary sensitivity and has also visited people at the end of their lives to discuss what they would like when they die. One of these people had lost her speech due to her illness. Jill handled this difficult case with such care and understanding. On every occasion, after Jill has left, the person is calm and confident that they will get what they would like at their funeral or memorial.
She spends an enormous amount of time researching all the facts and stories of peoples’ lives to capture the spirit of the person to ensure a ceremony which leaves family and friends satisfied and a with a sense of closure.
Jill is smart, thorough and very stylish. She handles the running order of the funeral or memorial with skill and will deal with the Funeral Directors. This is a difficult time for many people and Jill will guide with care and sensitivity and humour when appropriate.”
