About us

Having lost several close family members, I recognise the value of organising a great funeral in helping to process the death of a loved one. I feel that a successful funeral or memorial needs to meet the following three criteria:

­­ -Attendees should feel better when they leave than when they arrive
 -Details such as music and readings would elicit knowing nods and smiles
 -The person would have loved to be there!

In the past, I have attended funerals which have not met these criteria, and have found  that my sense of loss has therefore been compounded and my ability to process that person’s death has been compromised. An Afterparty funeral does the opposite, creating an event that captures the essence of the person, celebrating their life and providing structure and meaning to what friends and family are going through.

I work with you to create personal commemorations that reflect the character of the deceased and the wishes of their family. Tailoring my services to your needs and circumstances I can provide support at a time of bereavement and can facilitate future planning, doing as much or as little as you require.
