Why i started poetic endings, by Louise Winter

Funerals have the power to honour, heal, and inspire. A final chance to come together, learn more about a person’s life, reflect on it, and say goodbye.

Many of today’s funerals are formulaic, uninspiring, and soulless. We’re restricted by a lack of choice, told to get the funeral ‘out of the way’, and rarely taken care of during what is a chaotic and challenging time.

Poetic Endings is founded on the belief that a good funeral can be profound and transformational in helping to acknowledge and accept that someone has died. Facing death can be an overwhelming, traumatic and confusing time and we want you to feel fully supported in all the decisions you have to make.
