An End of Life Specialist provides non-medical support, guidance, education and companionship to people living with a life-limiting diagnosis, those approaching the end of life, and those closest to them.
This role is distinct from that of a carer or healthcare professional. As an End of Life Specialist, funeral director and celebrant, I offer continuity of care and a broad range of services — tailored to your individual needs, values and circumstances.
As a Funeral Director I work in partnership with Picaluna Beautiful Funerals. Picaluna is a community of like minded people, helping families to create more authentic, compassionate and affordable cremations, burials and memorials.
