I have always loved telling a story, be it through the written word, spoken word or on film. When the Covid Pandemic hit my regular work like many who work in this space took a severe hit.

After several people suggesting it, I enrolled in a course to become a Funeral Celebrant, I completed that course in the middle of 2021 and conducted my first funeral soon after.

There is nothing better than sharing a person’s life story with those they have left behind, and celebrating the moments in their lives where they made a difference or touched other people’s lives.

I have been lucky so far to work on a freelance basis for Purslowe Chippers Funerals and also Simplicity Funerals, in Perth. However, if you are interested in having me conduct the service for a loved one you should tell your funeral director. I can be contacted at ashley@ashleymorrisonfc.com.au
