Death Curious Conversations
One of Bec’s biggest passions is end of life planning, because she has seen the distress families experience when there’s no plan in place.
That’s why Bec hosts monthly Death Curious Conversations, a relaxed and open community gathering where we discuss death, dying, grief, legacy, planning, and everything in between.
Held in two locations – Rookwood Cemetery (East St entrance) and the Little BIG House in Summer Hill – these conversations aim to build death literacy in a supportive and welcoming environment.

FAQs
Understanding Funeral Services
in Australia
What is the difference between a Funeral Director and a Funeral Celebrant?
A funeral director manages the practical, legal and logistical aspects (transport, body care, paperwork, etc.), while a funeral celebrant leads the ceremony itself, helping craft a meaningful tribute. I offer both services in one, creating a seamless and personal experience.
Do you need to have a Funeral Director?
Legally, no but it can be overwhelming to manage everything alone. Having a compassionate Sydney Funeral Director means guidance, support and peace of mind during a difficult time.
How to choose a Funeral Director?
Choose a funeral director who treats death with care, families with kindness and the person who died with dignity. Professionalism and skill matters but humanity matters more.
How much does a funeral service cost in Australia?
Prices vary depending on your wishes and needs. A basic cremation costs approximately $2,750 and a funeral service followed by a cremation or burial can cost approximately $8,900.
What not to talk about at a funeral?
Avoid gossip, personal disputes, or anything disrespectful. Funerals are sacred spaces for remembrance, connection and healing.
Can pets be included in funerals?
Absolutely. As a pet loving funeral director and celebrant, I encourage you to include your furry family members. From attendance to symbolic gestures, there are many beautiful ways to honour these special bonds.
