HATSY CELEBRANT & BUSINESS SERVICES
Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Hatsy Celebrant & Business Services Director, Judy Hatswell, is a Funeral 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.”
“Thank you, Judy from our entire family. The way you conducted the service and words you used to describe our Mum were the perfect celebration of her life.”
“At such a difficult time I can only express how grateful we are to you for delivering such a beautiful service. Thank you.”
I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants and the Funeral Celebrants Association Australia
