A recent funeral reminded me that we really need to make an effort to be in more photos. Do it for your children and how you want them to remember you.

Families are now rejecting tradition and a "set format and insert-a-name" funeral service.

Almost 10 years ago when I became a celebrant, the industry looked very different to how it is today.

Last weekend I was invited by the Melbourne Writers Festival 2018 to talk in two shows in this years ‘A Matter of Life & Death’ programme.

Today marks 3 years since I conducted my first funeral.  I will always remember it as it was for a little beautiful baby girl who was born sleeping.

Until you are faced with the difficult task of organising a funeral, most people do not know what a funeral celebrant is or what they actually do.

Growing up in Ireland, I have been surrounded by the traditions and customs regarding death and funerals all my life.
