Welcome friend,
I’m Amy - an Interfaith Minister, Celebrant and Funeral Director offering beautiful, creative and deeply personal ceremonies that reflect your beliefs and speak your heart-language. I bring a passion for doing death differently and specialise in crafting bespoke, meaningful funerals in hidden nooks across the Blue Mountains. I also host the monthly Blue Mountains Death Café.
With a background spanning 20+ years in theatre, music & the arts - my creativity and celebrancy are interwoven in devotion to your unique story. Whether at a time of unspeakable loss, deep transition or a loved up celebration - witnessing each other in life’s most precious moments is what brings meaning to our lives. Have a look around my website to learn more about what I offer or simply get in touch to start dreaming into your perfect ceremony.
Sacred Ceremony: made just for you.
Ceremony & Rituals
Whether it’s celebrating new beginnings, crossing a threshold into new chapters, or grieving the end of a life, humans have always gathered to mark the moments that matter. I’m passionate about hand-crafting bespoke ceremony that is tailored to your unique story.
Serving the Blue Mountains
A born and bred Blue Mountains gal, I bring a deep understanding of the Blue Mountains community. I craft ceremonies that embrace the abundant creativity of our close-knit community and incorporates the stunning natural beauty of our local landscape.
Death & Grief Events
I offer Death Cafés and creative Grief Workshops as spaces for honest conversations & gentle support. Whether you’re navigating loss, exploring your own mortality, or simply seeking a place to learn, these gatherings weave beauty and connection around life’s hardest moments.

A Gentle Guide For When The Ashes Come Home
I’ve come to understand that there are moments in grief that catch us off guard. One of those moments is when I knock on your door holding the ashes of your loved one.

Why We’ve Always Laid Flowers Upon Death
Working in death care across the UK and Australia, I’ve seen the countless ways we innately turn to flowers in death rites & grief rituals. Sometimes humble, sometimes extravagant, whether homegrown or plucked from the wild - they always carry meaning & bring a sense of reverence.
