My name is Eugene Matthias, I am a funeral celebrant.
It was only when I lost my mother that I realised how little I knew about her life. Together with the help of other celebrants we founded 'Create My Legacy' to help and support families. Now days many people plan ahead and take out insurance to cover the cost of their funeral.
But very few think about planning their funeral ahead of time. It's easy to do and takes all the stress away from your loved ones. |

So what happens?
Imagine you’re sitting in on your own funeral family visit, the Celebrant is taking notes.
You haven’t left funeral instructions and family don’t know what you want for your funeral service.
When it comes to your Eulogy each has different memories about your life. There are big gaps missing, they don’t know what your life was like as a child, a teenager, adult or before you got married.
In fact they themselves have no real memory about family life until they were 4 or 5 years old.
Loved ones become distressed, upset and at the funeral, your eulogy is sadly incomplete. Many elements of your life lost forever.

We understand the grieving process and it’s our mission to support families through this most difficult of times.
