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.
