The Last Wish…

Have you ever thought about what yours might be?

If you have the gift of time, what’s stopping you from doing it now?

So often, our final wishes aren’t grand gestures. They’re the things that matter most to us like the places we long to see, the people we want to spend time with, the words we need to say, or the experiences we’ve been putting off for “someday.”

Talking about death isn’t morbid. In many ways, it does the opposite. Accepting that our time is finite reminds us to live more fully, love more deeply, and stop waiting for the perfect moment.

The gift of acknowledging our mortality is that it encourages us to make the most of the life we have today.

Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning's hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die.

— Clare Harner, The Gypsy, December 1934

Somewhere along the way, women were taught to fear ageing. To hide the silver strands, soften the laugh lines, apologise for taking up space beyond youth.

But ageing is not failure. It is privilege. It is proof of life.

Every silver hair carries wisdom. Every smile line tells a story of joy, grief, resilience, love, survival and laughter shared with people who mattered. These faces are not something to erase. They are maps of a life fully lived.

There is something quietly powerful about a woman who stops shrinking herself to meet impossible standards. A woman who lets herself age openly, honestly and unapologetically.

So here’s to the women with silver hair catching the sunlight. The women with soft skin, changing bodies, wise eyes and open hearts. The women learning that beauty was never meant to disappear with age, only deepen.

May we stop fearing the passing of time and start honouring the gift of growing older.

We once knew how to care for our dead.
Not because we were taught in books, but because our mothers showed us, and their mothers before them.

When someone died, the family would boil water, bring out clean cloths, and gently wash and dress the person they loved. They would be laid in the front parlour while neighbours arrived with food, stories, tears, and company. The kettle stayed on. People came and went for days. Death was held by the community, not hidden away from it.

Over time, things changed. Wars reshaped society, embalming became standard, and the care of our dead slowly moved from the hands of families into the hands of an industry. Many people now find themselves sitting metres away from someone they love, unsure if they are even allowed to touch them without permission.

At Walker Family Funerals, we believe families deserve more connection, more involvement, and more choice. We are helping reclaim gentle, family-led death care by combining modern knowledge and technology with the wisdom we once carried naturally.

You do not have to hand everything over.
You can still wash their hair, place flowers around them, sit beside them, hold their hand, and be part of their care.

We are carving a new era in death care. One that brings power, presence, and humanity back to families.

Hi, we have many new followers so thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Cara Walker, founder of Walker Family Funerals.

I started Walker Family Funerals to create something independent, local, and genuinely family-focused. This isn’t an inherited business or an affiliation with the dominating big guys. It’s a funeral company built on compassion, honesty, and the belief that people deserve better support during one of the hardest times in their lives.

I believe death care in Perth is changing, and it needs to. Families are looking for more transparency, more flexibility, and more meaningful ways to say goodbye without overwhelming financial pressure.

That’s why I’m passionate about offering realistic pricing and helping families understand they do have choices. Sometimes that means questioning traditions that no longer feel personal or necessary, and helping families create something that reflects the person they love instead of simply following a template.

From supporting home death care and advocating for human body composting, to arranging military honours, Catholic Masses, quiet private farewells, or garden tea parties filled with laughter and stories. Every farewell should feel authentic to the life being honoured.

Going the extra mile matters to me. Whether that’s meeting families after hours, helping navigate paperwork, creating personalised services, or simply sitting down for a cup of tea when someone needs support. People deserve care that feels human.

At Walker Family Funerals, we meet families where they want us. Because funerals are not about fitting people into a system. They’re about honouring legacy, love, culture, personality, and story in the way that feels right for each family.

Today can be a beautiful day for some, and a deeply painful one for others.

Today, we are holding space for the mothers whose children are no longer here.
For the mums carrying love and grief side by side.
For the mothers of angel babies, and children lost too soon.

We are also thinking of those spending Mother’s Day without their mum beside them.

However today looks for you, whether it is filled with family, quiet reflection, tears, memories, or simply getting through the day, please know that your love still matters, and your grief is welcome here.

To all those carrying loss today, we are thinking of you with compassion and care.

Friday the 13th has long been labelled unlucky — but what if it’s actually powerful?

The number 13 has deep connections to the feminine, the lunar cycles (13 moons in a year), and ancient earth-based traditions. Friday is named after Frigg/Freya, Norse goddesses of love, wisdom and magic. Before superstition took hold, this day carried strong feminine and mystical energy.

At Walker Family Funerals, we believe in gently questioning fear-based traditions — especially those that disconnect us from nature, ritual and meaning. Death care itself has been shaped by superstition over centuries. Yet when we slow down, reclaim ceremony and return to earth-centred practices, we transform fear into reverence.

So perhaps Friday the 13th is not a day of bad luck — but a day to honour intuition, cycles, ancestors and the unseen threads that hold us.

A beautiful day to light a candle.
To tend a grave.
To remember that what we’ve been taught to fear often carries hidden wisdom.

Let’s reclaim it.
