Our loved ones live on in many ways, including their life story. It is through their story filled with cherished memories, experiences and reflections from family and friends that when combined provide a meaningful, everlasting tribute to the unique person they were...and continue to be. Storytelling is how we keep our loved ones present in our lives and pass along legacies and life lessons through the generations. It is a sacred honor for me to be given the opportunity to create a personalized tribute for any type of remembrance service

Kathy Burns

InSight Books

Former educator, graphic designer for InSight Books, author, Celebrant Mortuary School Program Supervisor, and Celebrant trainer. While my home base is Oklahoma City, I am willing to travel to a wider area. 


I meet with the family to gather stories, share memories, anecdotes, and special moments in your loved one's life and prepare a eulogy that incorporates those unique stories and experiences that defined your loved one. I consult with you to help design a service that best reflects and memorializes the life of your loved one, weaving your choice of music, video tribute, readings, personal mementos, and unique ceremonies into a service of tribute to a life lived.


The family meeting may be in person or via Zoom or conference call if needed. 


I have been a Celebrant for twenty years and am passionate about creating a funeral or memorial service that fits your loved one and your family. I would love to hear your stories.


Areas | My home base is Oklahoma City metro area, but I will travel beyond if time permits.
