ANNE STURMAN | Civil Celebrant
“You have a truly wonderful way of making people feel at ease, of delivering services with exactly the right tone, and compassion. Anne gave the eulogy for my mother, and as a family we were really impressed with her. When recently, sadly my husband passed away, I requested Anne to officiate as she had done such a fine job with my mother’s funeral. Thank you Anne, you truly made a difficult time less stressful.”

“From the initial meeting with you to run through Dad’s life story and prepare for his service, we were put at ease with your warm and friendly manner and were able to share our treasured memories with you about Dad, which were lovely to recall. The tribute for Dad at his service was written and delivered beautifully with such care, compassion and detail and we had lots of comments at the wake afterwards telling us so. Mum and I would like to thank you so much for all your hard work and time taken, to make Dad’s service a wonderful and memorable celebration of his life.”
