Nicole Grundy

Nicole has been a Celebrant for over 6 years and has taken part in many ceremonies. Her funerals have smiles, tears, laughs, stories and silence. She lets the families she works with lead the way and grieve however they need to. She is always searching to honour and also push the boundaries on tradition in a bespoke and authentic way. She is approachable, strong and dedicated in the pursuit of personalising the process of saying goodbye with a warm embrace and considered voice. She is passionate about helping families and communities in grief and creating real connections with people. Nicole likes to meet up with families over a cuppa and share stories. She has the right experience to deliver a tailored, individualised ceremony that will be remembered in a positive way.

“Saying farewell to a loved one is incredibly sad but brings with it the opportunity to celebrate a life and convey how much they were loved,” Nicole
