Every life deserves to be honoured in a meaningful way
that reflects the person who lived it.
If you’ve found yourself here you are likely processing the loss of a loved one, which is so hard.
It’s possible you are navigating this death through rushed timelines, uncertainty or traditions that may not reflect the person you have lost.
My purpose is to bring personalisation and alignment into your farewell experience.
Through calm presence, heartfelt connection and deep listening, I help you create a meaningful farewell, a space to honour and celebrate your person in a way that feels deeply personal and true for you.
Beliefs that drive my service
Every farewell is a significant rite of passage. It’s how we remember, grieve together and carry forward the legacy of those we love.
When families feel guided and held to honour their person's life in a meaningful way, healing can begin.
Before words are written, people need to feel seen and heard. This happens by slowing down, and listening deeply so families can share their stories and ideas for the ceremony, that can then be built upon.
Families find peace knowing the ceremony will truly reflect the life that was lived, in every possible way.
Things that matter most to me
Understanding
Who this person was and why you loved them.
Presence
Offering a calm grounded presence in emotionally stormy waters.
Heart-Centred
Compassion, empathy and openness create genuine human connection.
Truth
Honouring your person’s life and death with honesty and sensitivity Intimacy Creating safe spaces for sharing stories and memories.
Doing Death Differently
Funerals don't have to follow tradition to be deeply respectful. Together we can co create a ceremony that honours the person who has passed in a truly personal way - embracing nature and creative locations, ritual, music and other elements aligned with the life that was lived.
We only get one chance at a group goodbye, so I help you to create a shared experience that is as meaningful and healing as possible, maybe ever joyful in moments.
“There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what seems unbearable
and what is most exquisitely alive”
Francis Weller
Testimonial
“We met Susie in the most darkest of days. We had lost our newborn baby days prior, and found ourselves in a place we didn’t want to be. Planning our baby’s funeral, wasn’t how it was supposed to be. The thought of it was crippling. But then we met Susie.
Susie brought so much love and care into planning our little girl’s farewell. She brought in a team of people who made our ceremony by the beach simply perfect. Susie listened to our stories, our beliefs and our wishes and was able to translate into the most heartfelt ceremony. She took us on a journey to remember and celebrate Elke’s short little life, and managed to leave everyone feeling a little bit better than when they arrived.
Susie is a truly beautiful soul and we will be forever grateful that we found her. We trusted Susie implicitly to create a ceremony that honoured the love we had for our baby girl. She managed to turn the most tragic of events, into a day that will be forever etched into our memory as a day full of love and hope.
Thank you Susie, we owe you so much."
