Only a few sleeps to go folks!

On 8th August, we are hosting a special event on the topic of death and dying called "Dying to Know". This is topic that people often avoid, but like taxes, it's something that is unavoidable and something everyone will face at some point.

We want to take the mystery out of death and dying and get people talking about a topic that is often viewed as taboo. Come along and hear from two passionate locals who work in the industry, who will answer all your questions on the topic. This is meant to be a non-commercial, non religious event, where hopefully there might be a few laughs, maybe some tears, but more importantly a supportive, non-judgemental forum where no question is a bad question. For catering purposes, RSVPs are appreciated.

Call us on 53483569, or send us an email to book your spot!

When my dad got sick I decided that if I was ever going to get married, I wanted him to be there so we went from organising a 130-guest wedding with all the trimmings to a tiny courtyard wedding for 11 people.
