Gentle Goodbyes, Unique Funerals

(and everything in between)

Death and dying touch us all

And usually when we least expect it.

Hi, and welcome. I’m Deana, an independent funeral director with a fresh perspective and a soft touch. I work alongside families to create unique funerals that feel like them - ceremonies that gently hold both the love and the grief in the room.

If you know your person is worth more than a 45-minute slot in a generic chapel, I’m here to help you do things differently. Together, we can bring their story to life in a way that honours their individuality and legacy. If their life wasn’t a stock-standard event, their funeral shouldn’t be either.

Closure matters. You matter. And how you say goodbye matters — especially when it comes to how you process grief in the months and years ahead.

If you’d like to talk through what’s possible, I offer an obligation-free chat where you can ask questions, share what feels important, and explore your options.

When you’re ready, reach out. We’ll take it one gentle step at a time. Because I know how hard death hits, so I will help you hold space for what matters most, and ensure that no matter how this chapter unfolds, you feel supported and never alone.
