Death Doula and End of Life Planning Services
Hi, I'm Karla. Funeral Director and Death Doula serving Victoria and surrounding areas.
As a Funeral Director I have sat with many families in the days following the death of a loved one. In some cases I have witnessed heartache when family had no idea about their loved one’s final wishes.
As a Death Doula I aim to empower individuals to identify their values and have thoughtful and pragmatic discussions with those who need to know.
As an embalmer, I am an advocate for open and honest information around safe and dignified death care.
I use my experience and insight to help my clients prepare meaningfully for end of life.

The Empowered Family
Death can feel scary, unpredictable and overwhelming. Talking about death can be upsetting and might even feel like it will make it happen.
Not talking about death can create anxiety that care wishes will not be met, that family will argue over decision making, or that loves ones will be left without adequate support.
End of life planning and family led conversations create opportunities to make informed choices, empower loved ones, and find peace of mind.
When families know each other's wishes, they can protect them rather than guess.
Empowered Deathcare
After death at home there is an opportunity to slow down and be involved in the final care. If there has been painful illness, it can he healing to witness the absence of pain, and be able to touch, hold and even wash your person. Every situation is unique.
Before the death has occurred I can provide information and a sense of what to expect. After death I provide guidance and support. I believe in reclaiming the knowledge of caring for our own dead and I empower families to do so.
