Who Am I, and How Can I Help You?

My name is Cate, and I'm here to support you through one of the most difficult times in life.

A Little About Me:

I was born in Africa, lived and worked throughout Europe, and in the year 2000, I found my forever home in Australia. My life journey has given me a rich understanding of different cultures, traditions, and beliefs, which I bring into my work as a Funeral Director.

I started my career as a Registered Nurse, working in various fields from aged care to critical care. For years, I have been dedicated to supporting people in times of illness, surgery, and even the joyful moments of welcoming new life. As a nurse, I've stood by families, offering care and comfort when they needed it most.

In 2014, I expanded my passion for helping people by becoming a Marriage Celebrant, guiding couples in creating unique ceremonies that celebrate their love and commitment. A few years later, I felt a deeper calling and became a Funeral Celebrant, focusing on honoring lives with meaningful, personalised ceremonies.

How I Can Help You:

Taking another step in my journey, I trained as a Funeral Director—or Funeral Arranger, as I prefer to call it. My role is to guide you through every step of planning a farewell for your loved one, lifting the heavy burden from your shoulders during an incredibly emotional time.

I am here to:

Listen to your wishes, honouring your loved one’s life with dignity, respect, and compassion.
Help you understand what needs to be done, from initial arrangements to deciding between a traditional funeral or a more intimate memorial service.
Create a space where you feel heard and supported, ensuring every detail aligns with your family's cultural, ethical, and personal values.

A Unique Offering: Death Doula Services

Sometimes, the journey with your loved one doesn't end when they pass—it begins in those final days. As a Death Doula, I can offer support by staying beside your loved one, providing comfort in their last moments so that you can find a moment of peace. I will keep you informed, gently guiding you through the process, and be there when it matters most.

No two journeys are the same, and no two farewells should be either. Whatever your needs, I am here to ensure your loved one’s final goodbye is both meaningful and deeply personal.

Let me help you create a beautiful celebration of their life, while you take the time to grieve and remember.
