From the moment we first walked in enquiring about funerals for our Mum, we were met with such warmth, kindness, yet professional service. The level of support & guidance from Michelle throughout the whole process, the funeral itself was incredible. Michelle & Sandy are brilliant at what they do, and beyond that, they are clearly beautiful & compassionate humans. Highly recommend.

Why did you join the funeral industry?
After Arranging two family members' funerals for my husband's family, I realised how overwhelming and confronting the process can be during one of life's most difficult times. It was than i realised i wanted to step into a role where i could gently guide families,ease the pressure, and help create meaningful and personal farewells for loved ones.
What do you like about being a funeral arranger?
As a Funeral Arranger, i treasure being part of the community i serve. I feel deeply honoured to walk alongside families, helping them navigate what can often feel unknown and daunting. Working together with my team at Simplicity , my priority is always the same - placing families first and ensuring every farewell reflects the life being celebrated. I belive care does not end at a funeral. Aftercare is something i hold close to my heart. Grief continues long after the servcie, and sometimes what people need most is simply someone to sit with, share a cup of tea, and walk. Providing that ongoing support is one of the most meaningful part of the role.
