Nyx Funerals is a funeral celebrant and grief support business in Naarm, Melbourne.

✨ A new offering by Nyx Funerals! ✨

Let’s have a dinner party together, or maybe just a cuppa and some bickies at the kitchen table while we chat about death care planning.

So many of us have unfinished business when it comes to our funeral wishes, advance care directives, wills, and end-of-life decision makers.

That’s why I’ve created The Final Course: Kitchen table discussions on death and dying.

🕯️ Gather your friends or family
💬 Talk openly about death care choices
📄 Learn what documents you need to complete
🕰️ Set a timeline to get it all done
📞 And get ongoing support via the Nyx Hotline.

It’s all part of The Final Course , equal parts practical and heart-centred.

Sliding scale pricing available.
Based in Coburg — I can travel up to 1.5 hours from Naarm (Melbourne CBD).

In life and death,

On ‘Halloween’ (which in Australia occurs on the Gaelic festival of the peak of spring called Beltane) I spent visiting the Coburg Cemetery and going on a self-guided tour.

You can learn so much about the history of a place including the renowned public figures, waves of immigration, historic events and circumstances of how people died by visiting your local cemetery.

Often some of the only public ‘green spaces’ available in a locality but one that also holds such a rich reverence and beauty. A large display of public memorialization. My beautiful headdress is by milliner

Observing ritual. Ritual is how we as humans connect and make rites of passage and moments in time important and meaningful. We in secular settler communities have often lost connection to ways we use to honor, celebrate and mourn collectively in community. That’s why in a funeral ceremony it’s the ritual element that I so dearly love. The liminal space that is opened up through a series of simple sequence of actions. This photo is from the ‘love letters to my broken heart exhibition’ as part of the Melbourne writers festival. Where 300 letters to broken hearts were written, folded and contained before being burnt.

Yesterday we bid farewell to C. An adventurer, musician and a dearly loved human. A beautiful ceremony of story, song, tributes and a tree planting ritual was held . His cremains were planted in with a flowering gum now his forever shade. What I loved most was the sacred and the profane. The Italian opera as the ashes were gently placed in the hole alongside the mechanics of dirt and shovels and a ride on mower driving in with plastic tubs. The human always has an important place in ceremony. Rest in peace. I’ve absolutely loved getting to know you through your loved ones, your music and your values.

Last Monday I was the celebrant for a baby. The first time I’ve written a ceremony for a young child. It was very tender and memorable. I found the hardest part was finding the words. Beyond the generic yet ultimately true sentiment of life being inherently unfair and the utter heart break of a death out of order, what more was there to say? How to honor a life so brief and in this case medically painful? Was it merely holding a silence and space for the unfulfilled promises and rites of passages? But what were the words? I spoke with fellow death worker deatheducation for guidance. She assisted my mind to shift to how we as a community could meet this beautiful soul through ceremony. Celebrate and mourn her short life through words, story, poetry and ritual. Welcome her here with us before we bid her a goodbye. It’s a death and funeral I will keep with me. A baby of the butterfly ward that taught us all so much.

This image is titled ‘blooms of the abyss’ by . To me it speaks of the abyss like feeling of grief. The enormity and often loneliness accompanying such a universally experience……. I also see within the image the connection between flowers and death which is so long standing and seen across cultures and generations. The connection between flowers as symbols of acknowledging and bearing witness to loss and grief.
