HATSY CELEBRANT & BUSINESS SERVICES
Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Hatsy Celebrant & Business Services Director, Judy Hatswell, is a Funeral Celebrant, Authorised Marriage Celebrant and Business Specialist.
Funeral Celebrant
I am a Civil and Funeral Celebrant, using my personal communication, writing and public speaking skills to guide families during celebrations of their loved one’s lives.
But my passion for becoming a Funeral Celebrant runs much deeper. I lost my darling parents only seven months apart in 2021 and 2022, and during that difficult time I learnt the importance of having a Funeral Celebrant who is kind, empathetic and genuine, while having attention to detail and the highest level of professionalism.
I consider it a tremendous honour to support families during such a difficult time.
What a special privilege it is to play a part in supporting family and friends to say their final goodbye to someone they love.
Words of Appreciation
“We have received such positive comments as to how lovely the service was. Thank you for guiding us gently through such a horrible time.”
“Our family want to thank you for your wonderful support and guidance planning Brian’s Celebration of Life and for your support conducting his service on the day. Many commented on the gentle and calm delivery of a beautiful tribute.
Your warmth, kindness and genuine care for us all during this time was wonderful, and we are so grateful for your heartfelt delivery with respect for Brian and our memories.
Thank you once again - you made the day easier for all of us.”
“At such a difficult time I can only express how grateful we are to you for delivering such a beautiful service. Thank you.”

Words of Appreciation
“Judy made our entire wedding process seamless and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. She took the time to truly understand what mattered most to us and tailored the ceremony perfectly to reflect that.
Judy went above and beyond at every step, and the result was a ceremony we couldn’t have imagined being done better by anyone else.
We honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly if we tried!”
