Funerals, Memorials & Living Wakes

Having conducted many funerals, some of them being those of family and dear friends, both in Perth and across Western Australia, I know in my heart I have chosen the right career path, especially when I receive wonderful feedback from families. It has been a privilege to have been able to conduct the farewells of those close to me, and those of strangers whose story I can tell, and is testament to the sincerity I bring to any service. I understand firsthand the pain of loss, but no two person’s grief is the same and deserves to be treated as individually as their loved ones. My late father made me promise to conduct his service, and when the time came, I know I didn’t let him down. I’ve sadly attended far too many funerals, or celebrations of life, as a mourner, however that has also given me the assurance to know I am providing a compassionate, genuine and appropriate service for your loved one.

What is your story? How many bridges did you cross, rocky paths did you tread, waters did you sail, hills did your climb, to be where you are now? Would you like others to know your story before you are no longer able to share it with them? Then hold what is known as a “Living Wake”. One of my oldest friends who was terminally ill, coordinated her own funeral with specific wishes, including choosing the day of the week that it be held to accommodate her colleagues and friends in the industry she was passionate about. If she had been well enough, I know she would have loved to have held a “living wake” to celebrate her life with those she loved. How many times do we attend a funeral and wish they could see and hear the beautiful farewell they are given? I can help you coordinate your “Story Day” or Living Wake.
