Over the weekend in Melbourne, we witnessed an important new chapter for our profession as the Australian Funeral Directors Association became Funerals Australia.
This new name reflects 90 years of heritage while embracing a future of unity, advocacy, and the highest standards in funeral care across the nation.
As a family business with deep ties to the Association—and with John and Kelly both having served as National Presidents—we are proud to stand with Funerals Australia in its mission to ensure families everywhere receive the care, respect, and professionalism they deserve.
Because when it comes to funerals, trust matters.

🌸 Living With a Broken Heart – A Journey to Healing Through Grief 🌸
A 4-week program for Mums who have lost a child

Local Mum Jill Barham has created this gentle and supportive program in honour of her son, Jordan, who died in a car accident in January 2022. She knows first-hand how lonely and overwhelming grief can be – and how hard it is to find the right support when your world has been turned upside down.

This 4-week program is for Mothers navigating life after the unimaginable loss of a child. Each session will offer:
💜 Time for reflection
💜 Gentle, guided conversations
💜 Connection with others who truly understand
💜 Music, energy work, and creative expression
💜 Practical tools for understanding and living with grief

She will be co-facilitating with her friend Sam Gardiner – a local artist and bereaved sibling – and together they'll walk alongside you on this journey.

Jill is partnering with The Compassionate Friends Victoria (TCFV) who are supporting the program with expert training, resources and guest speakers.

🕊 If you are ready to take a small step toward healing, she warmly invites you to join them.
📧 Bookings are essential – spaces are limited. Please register by emailing: griefbuddies@outlook.com

Sometimes, the smallest steps forward can bring the greatest shifts in our wellbeing. You are not alone. 💞

I was honoured to join John Adams from the UK on his podcast Death: A Changing Industry to share just a glimpse of my 35 years in funeral care. It was a thoughtful and genuine conversation about the changes we've seen, the experiences we’ve shared, and the values that still guide us.

Grateful for the opportunity to reflect on this work that means so much to me.
