I am Mariandra Heunis
The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, is our ‘new normal’. I made the choice to live despite of what had happened, standing on every promise of hope. Day by day. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling. To assist other families in their darkest hour - when a loved one passes away. If I can’t be a light in the dark, I will sit with you for a moment. Because I understand.
I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step.
I am also focused on inspirational speaking - I share my journey AFTER. The crazy, backwards-forwards path - always moving. It takes perseverance and grit to keep moving when you feel that you really can’t. But, you have that too!
I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, funeral director. I am so much more. But still figuring it all out. And that’s okay. It will be okay!
