Lauren officiated my Mother's celebration of life service and we could not have asked for anyone more caring and loving. She also beautifully sang several of my Mother's favorite songs. It was wonderful to have one person who could handle both the officiant role and provide the music.
Thank you Lauren ! The whole family appreciates everything you did !

Lauren is amazing. She has a wonderful way of connecting deeply with people very quickly, making you feel welcome, seen, understood and loved. Her heart for people and for God are evident. And yet at the same time she is very respectful and professional, meaning she follows through with what she says, and does a great job at whatever needs to be done. She is an excellent communicator, speaking with clarity and emotion. She's also a wonderful musician and songwriter!

Lauren Hunter was incredibly caring and compassionate as she led my mother’s funeral service. She took the time to learn about my mother’s life and our family, offered kind guidance as we planned, and checked in often to see how I was doing. The service was heartfelt, personal, and exactly what my mother would have wanted. The music she performed was beautiful and added such a special touch. I’m deeply grateful for the comfort and care she provided during a difficult time.

Lauren Hunter is a truly exceptional celebrant. She stepped in during a very emotional and difficult time and gently guided me through the process of planning my mom’s service with compassion, grace, and professionalism. From start to finish, Lauren had a thoughtful plan in place and helped bring calm and clarity when I needed it most.

Her kindness and caring nature shone through every step of the way, and it’s clear she was meant to do this work—it takes a special person to hold space for others in times of grief, and Lauren does it with deep empathy and respect. I’m so grateful she was part of this important moment in honoring my mom’s life.
