The Funeral Fix Podcast
The Funeral Fix Podcast is where modern funeral professionals come to grow, learn, and rethink what it means to work in death care today.
Hosted by Yaz Trollope and Oliver Thomson - Funeral Directors, Celebrants, and educators - this podcast pulls back the curtain on the world of funerals.
From crafting meaningful ceremonies to leading families through complex logistics, from business and marketing insights to self-care in emotionally demanding work, we cover the real tools and conversations that shape today’s death care industry.
Season 1 focused on the art and impact of Funeral Celebrancy.
In Season 2, we’re expanding into the world of Funeral Directing; exploring how these roles overlap, where they differ, and why compassionate, future-focused leadership is needed in every corner of the profession.
Whether you’re a current or future celebrant, a Funeral Director in training, or simply someone curious about how we can create more human, inclusive, and sustainable farewells, this podcast will give you both the inspiration and the practical know-how to step forward with confidence.
Because at The Funeral Fix, we believe the future of funerals belongs to professionals who can lead with skill, heart, and integrity.

Ceremony Meets Coordination: A New Model for Funeral Care
For years, Funeral Directors and Celebrants worked in parallel. Two separate worlds connected by a phone call and a schedule. But the modern funeral landscape is shifting. Families now want experiences that are seamless, heartfelt, and authentic, where logistics and ceremony work hand in hand.
In this episode of The Funeral Fix Podcast, Oliver Thomson and Yaz Trollope explore what happens when those two roles truly collaborate. They unpack how ceremony and coordination can intertwine to create meaningful, stress-free experiences for families, and why this new, integrated approach is redefining funeral care across Australia.
In this conversation, we cover:
- Why the best funerals happen when Celebrants and Directors work in synergy
- The difference between logistical flow and emotional flow, and why both matter
- How clear communication prevents chaos (and awkward silences)
- Real stories of what happens when collaboration works, and when it doesn’t
- The emerging model of holistic, heart-led funeral care
If you’re a Funeral Director, Celebrant, or someone curious about how this work is evolving, this episode will give you a practical and inspiring look at the teamwork behind today’s most meaningful funerals.
