Let’s get to know - Ethan!

What is your role at Simplicity Funerals?

I’m the Assistant Manager of our two funeral homes but I’m also a qualified and registered Funeral Director and an Embalmer. I work with Barry to look after the day-to-day operations and am usually based in our Nelson Funeral Home.

How long have you been a funeral director and/or embalmer?

I’ve been a funeral director and embalmer for 6 years. I have been back at Simplicity for a little over a year now after working at a funeral home in Blenheim for the last few years.

Why did you choose to become a funeral director and/or embalmer?

It sort of chose me! I was a wedding and commercial photographer for almost 10 years and when Covid came along, I had to pivot and moved into live streaming funerals. When I was asked if I wanted to learn about funeral directing and embalming, I jumped at the chance and fell in love with the work we do.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

It isn’t so much advised as it is a quote that I think is valuable “how lucky am I to be overwhelmed by a life that I once prayed for.” What I get from that is that I adore the work that I do so even when it is hard, it is a privilege.

What is something that you enjoy doing that might surprise people?

I’m a bit fickle when it comes to hobbies! Currently I’m going through another mountain biking phase! I also love getting out on the water. I have a little boat that I love taking out and exploring islands and waterways.

We are thrilled to welcome Andrea back to the Nelson Tasman Simplicity Funerals team. Andrea is a fully qualified funeral director and will be a familiar face to some of you having been part of Simplicity since we opened in Nelson, before taking some time off to travel and spend time with her family.

Welcome back Andrea!
