How it works

Simple, reliable, and professional — From first call to final farewell

1. Briefing

Share key details about the family and the ceremony setting — I will handle the rest.

2. Preparation

I then craft a script , focusing on what is important for each family from music choices, poems, eulogy, symbols etc. Upon approval from the bereaved family, I finalise each detail with precision and exact timing.

3. Delivery

A calm, confident, and personal ceremony that feels right for everyone involved.

Partner with Oonagh

Trusted by families across Ireland

We had the privilege of having Oonagh celebrate our father’s funeral, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. From a brief conversation the day before, she somehow understood exactly who he was and crafted a beautiful tribute that captured him perfectly — with insights and details we’d never have thought to share. Oonagh is incredibly perceptive and communicates with warmth and professionalism.

She was always available and handled every challenge on the day with calm, kindness, and care. Her empathy and intuition made a very difficult day so much easier, and we’re deeply grateful to her.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Oonagh Mahon as our celebrant during one of the hardest moments of my life. From our very first conversation, Oonagh approached every detail of the service with warmth and understanding and above all a genuine empathy which gave us a sense of peace in a difficult time. She didn’t just “help us plan a funeral”; she created a truly meaningful farewell that refeclected the unique spirit of my loved one in such a beautiful, genuine way.

What stands out the most about Oonagh is her authenticity. She was there for us in every sense, not only as a celebrant but as a compassionate prescence who genuinely cared about our experience. Her commitment to honouring our loved one shone through, leaving a lasting impact on us all. If you’re looking for someone who can bring true meaning and warmth to such an important moment, I wholeheartedly recommend Oonagh. She is one of a kind.

Oonagh Mahon  was the celebrant at our mother's cremation. Her service was very professional and yet so warming. My mother has family that live in London and USA and everyone of her siblings were blown away at how she described my mother her love of music and the Irish language, she spoke about her with such sincerity that is was like Oonagh knew our mother personally.

We are forever grateful and thankful to Oonagh and also that it was seen by her elderly sisters who couldn't make it to our mother's funeral. They actually said it was nicer than the service at the church. We would highly recommend Oonagh for her professional yet caring nature at this very difficult time.

About oonagh mahon

Professionally qualified, deeply compassionate

Life can take us on many paths — some expected, others we could never have imagined. Looking back, I truly believe that every experience, encounter, and turning point in my own journey has led me to this chosen path for a reason.

Becoming a celebrant wasn’t a sudden decision, but rather the natural outcome of a lifetime spent listening, empathising, and finding meaning in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. Each person I meet, each story I help tell, reminds me why this work feels less like a career and more like a calling.

As a Celebrant with Tree of Life Ceremonies and Celebrations, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people at the most significant times of their lives — whether that’s welcoming a new beginning, marking a milestone, or saying a final goodbye with dignity, warmth, and authenticity
