I’m Rod Schafferius, and a Funeral Celebrant here at Anton Brown Funerals.
I’ve been in the funeral industry since 2000, and started working with Anton Brown in 2001.
I’ve always cared for people, and it’s why I find my role so fulfilling. As a Funeral Celebrant I guide families in their farewell to their loved ones and provide solace.
With only a few days or weeks between death and the funeral, we know that our families need lots of love and encouragement.
Thanks to my long-standing relationship with Anton Brown Funerals over 20 years, we work together to lead the family to a personalised funeral for their loved one.
Funeral Preplanning with Rod
The advantage of preplanning gives the family assurance that they know their loved one’s wishes have been honoured.
I like to personalise a service, by asking families to tell me their loved ones’ likes and dislikes. I want to learn and understand who they are from their favourite colour, hobbies, interests to what makes them tick.
Funeral Plans and Advice
It’s very important to keep the service real and authentic.
When planning a funeral, don’t be afraid of thinking out of the box.
Take the time and courage to talk about your own funeral service too.
The day will come for all of us, and even though we won’t be there, our own families will be confident that they attended to our needs and requests.
Celebrant for Funerals
Having had a career as a hairdresser, followed by an Assistant Pastor and now a Funeral Celebrant, gives me the advantage of being able to add the touch of ‘faith’ without the overhang of heavy religion.
I’m a relaxed personality which comes through my service in the same relaxed atmosphere.
Funeral Directors in Brisbane
Anton Brown Funerals looked after my father-in-law’s funeral shortly before I came into the industry as a celebrant, so I’ve experienced the love and care we received as a grieving family first-hand.
Because of this, it is easy to recommend them as wonderful Funeral Directors.
You and your loved one are well cared for by Anton’s team.
