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.
