Let’s bust some funeral planning myths, shall we?

❌ “I’m too young for this.” ✅ If you’re old enough to have a Netflix account, you’re old enough to make some basic plans. Life happens, and having a few preferences written down can save your family a lot of stress later.

❌ “It’s going to cost a fortune.” ✅ Nope! Pre-planning actually helps you control costs, rather than leaving your loved ones to make last-minute (and often expensive) decisions.

❌ “My family will just figure it out.” ✅ Maybe… but do you really want them debating whether you’d prefer a big church service or a backyard BBQ while they’re grieving? A little guidance from you now will mean a lot to them later.

I know planning feels like a big step, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Let’s chat—I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you figure out what makes sense for you.

Good news: you don’t need to have every detail figured out to start planning. Here are three easy things you can do today to make life easier for your future self (and your loved ones):

1️⃣ Write it down. Whether it’s a sticky note, an email to yourself, or a full-blown plan, just jotting down a few wishes—like burial vs. cremation—can be a huge help to your family.

2️⃣ Talk about it. I know, talking about death can feel weird, but trust me—your loved ones would rather have an awkward five-minute chat now than be stuck guessing later.

3️⃣ Ask for help. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. That’s what I’m here for!

If you want a friendly, no-pressure chat to get started, I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk through your questions and next steps.

Imagine this: you’ve just won the lottery and you’re planning an epic around-the-world trip. You pack your bags, leave your dog with a friend, and set up your email out of office. But… you forget to tell anyone where your will is or how you want your affairs handled.

A bit dramatic? Maybe. But here’s the thing—life is unpredictable. And one of the best gifts you can leave your family isn’t a flashy car or a mystery safe—it’s a clear plan that takes the guesswork out of a tough situation.

When my dear friend passed away unexpectedly, I saw the stress, confusion, and heartbreak her family went through trying to figure everything out. It made me realise that a little planning ahead could make all the difference.

I know this topic isn't the easiest to think about, but that's exactly why I'm here—to help make it simpler, lighter, and less overwhelming.

That's why I'm offering you a free 15-minute funeral planning consultation—no pressure, no sales pitch, just a friendly chat to answer your questions and help you get started.

It was a privilege to be able to attend this funeral on behalf of Picaluna

Dear friends,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share some important news about a new chapter in my life. After almost 20 years in the finance industry, I have made the decision to embark on a new career as a funeral director and celebrant - something I feel very passionate about.

The inspiration for this change was the loss of a dear friend, and the resulting shift in my perspective on life, death, and honouring those we love. I feel a strong calling to support families in their most challenging times, offering guidance and personalised ceremonies that truly reflect the lives being remembered.

If you or anyone you know ever needs help planning a farewell, please don’t hesitate to reach out. It would be my privilege to help.

Thank you for your support as I take on this meaningful new role. I truly appreciate your encouragement and look forward to staying in touch.

Matt
