Deadly Serious Conversations
For those who love a good podcast - Our Community Activator Melinda Whyman was interviewed by funeral celebrant Fiona Garrivan @fionathefuneralcelebrant for the Deadly Serious Conversations series last year. The episode ‘Supporting those who are grieving’ went live this week and has been receiving wonderful community feedback. Deadly Serious Conversations is available on all podcast platforms.

As 2022 draws to a close, we want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement for our Tender Funerals Greater Eastern Melbourne initiative over the past few months. Alongside the very practical task of working to open a not-for-profit funeral home, one of the great joys of our journey is feeling the corresponding groundswell of death positive conversations happening around us and knowing what a gift this is to the health of our communities. In the wise words of Sogyal Rinpoche - ‘Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected’ As we all prepare to gather with loved ones this festive season, we encourage you to take the time to reflect and consider having some brave conversations about end of life wishes around your dinner table. Talk to your people about what you would like for your funeral and ask them how you can help with their planning. Together we can create strong, healthy communities that know what to do when someone dies. Wishing you all a safe and peaceful festive season. #gratitude #connection #community #deathliteracy #deathpositive #funerals #funeralcare #communityfunerals #communityledcare #tenderfunerals #tenderfuneralsaustralia #tenderfuneralsgreatereasternmelbourne
