Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary to my beautiful oldest sister and her wonderful husband 💑

43 years of love, commitment, laughter and life together. What an incredible milestone. I still love the fact that she wore Mum’s wedding dress on her special day. Such a meaningful way to carry love from one generation to the next.

Wishing you both continued happiness, good health and many more years of making memories together ❤️

Scattering ashes at sea can feel incredibly special and symbolic. It’s a beautiful way to say goodbye. At the same time, it can raise cultural, legal and ethical considerations that are important to understand and respect.

A recent article by RNZ, The modern conundrum of scattering human ashes, shares thoughtful insights from Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand CEO Gillian Boyes, Board Member Andrew Malcolm and Board Cultural Advisor Larni Hepi. The piece explores how memorial practices are evolving and why cultural awareness matters so much when making these deeply personal decisions.

If this is something you’re considering, it’s well worth a read. You’ll find the link in the comments.

Being requested in someone’s Will to officiate their funeral is one of the greatest privileges a celebrant can receive.

Recently, I had the honour of fulfilling that role for a truly beautiful lady who had lived a long, happy, and deeply meaningful life. To be specifically named by her is something I will carry with me always.

She wasn’t just someone I was entrusted to farewell. She was one of my mentors. In my early days as a celebrant, she encouraged me, believed in me, and gently guided me. Her wisdom, grace, and quiet strength helped shape the celebrant I am today.

To stand and lead her service felt like coming full circle. It was emotional, humbling, and profoundly special. A final act of trust from someone who had already given me so much.

What a gift it is to walk alongside families at such tender times, and what an even greater gift to honour someone who once helped me to mould my own path.

Forever grateful 🤍
