Doing death differently.
Beautiful, creative and deeply personal ceremonies that reflect your beliefs and speak your heart-language.
Hi friend - I’m Amy, I’m so pleased you’ve found your way here. I’m an interfaith minister, funeral director and deathcare worker based on Darug & Gundungurra Country / Blue Mountains.
I specialise in funeral care and end-of-life support, devoted to creating bespoke, meaningful ceremonies in hidden nooks across the Blue Mountains and beyond. My work is shaped by more than two decades in the arts, and by a deep devotion to ceremony as a way of witnessing, remembering and honouring what matters most. I also host the monthly Blue Mountains Death Café and offer creative Grief In Motion community workshops.
Take your time here. When you’re ready, I’m here to connect.
