“You were clearly born to be a Funeral Director”.

What a compliment, what a card! I am very privileged with the lovely families that choose me to guide them through arranging their loved ones funeral.

At the supermarket recently, someone noticed my jacket branding and asked lots of questions about funerals. It reminded me how little we are taught about something we will all face one day.

My role is to guide families with compassion and clarity- from the very first call, through every detail, and to continue supporting them afterwards if needed. No one should have to face navigating a funeral alone.

Direct cremations are a personal choice for some people. It is worth remembering that a funeral is part of the grieving journey.

Every family is different, and no two funerals are ever the same. My passion lies in helping people create a funeral that truly reflects their loved one’s life.

Most things are possible in my experience.

Did you know?

Funeral directors have carried canes since the Victorian era, a time when mourning was observed with great dignity and formality.

Today the cane serves a purpose beyond tradition. It reflects a composed and respectful presence, helping set the tone for the ceremony. More than an accessory, it subtly conveys order, professionalism, and reverence- qualities I hold close when entrusted with caring for a deceased person.

I have met some great and very interesting people through being a Funeral Director. I really enjoy hearing people’s stories that they share with me and I will never take for granted the trust people place in me. Such a privileged role.

Independent businesses really value their clients. In my experience they look after you well and the service you receive is more personal. As a small independent business, I always try to support other fellow independents and would encourage you to as well.
