About Derrick
When someone dies, there can be a lot to carry at once. My role is to bring calm, structure, and support while you decide what kind of gathering feels right.
I came to this work through event planning, funeral industry experience, exposure to MAID and end-of-life situations, and direct work with families creating Celebrations of Life.
I do not use templates or borrow from cultures that are not yours. We shape something personal, meaningful, and grounded in the person being remembered.
My working style is calm, structured, and supportive. You do not need to have everything figured out before we talk.
