Our Customers Say About Us
In our time of sadness and sorrow, Kerry was wonderful. From the moment we met her she was compassionate and understanding. She advised and made recommendations that were suitable to our needs and requirements. It was so comforting to have her guide us both in our time of sadness. Kerry’s very down-to-earth approach, put my wife and I at ease, as we both felt more than comfortable with Kerry’s way of explaining things and guiding us. Dave
Kerry, I wanted to thank you for the service on Friday. It was absolutely beautiful. Perfect in every way. Your attention to detail made the day so special and something I will never forget. Thank you for going over and above your role and being so accommodating when changes were through at you. You are an amazing person and we are truly grateful. Michelle
Kerry was a huge help in organising the funeral. She kept a level head when we were consumed with grief.
Kerry delivered a very personal touch, and it was very evident that she takes great joy in being able to do the very vest in presenting a celebration of your loved one’s life.
She organized so much for us, from putting together the order of service and liaising with the Funeral Directors, to making sure everything ran smoothly on the day.
Kerry also made sure that people who worked with and had an association with Dad know of his passing. Such a caring and genuine lady.
Karen
Kerry really excelled herself in assisting with the entire ceremony, not only presenting on the day but in preparation.
From contacting and notifying key invites from various organisations. Providing items for display, organising a bagpiper to play at the service, preparing order the of service and providing the family with a compilation of Dads life in a beautifully presented memorial booklet including the Eulogy and service outline.
Kerry managed to fill so many voids in the preparation and handling making everything less stressful for the family and bringing the whole day together perfectly.

Meet Kerry Tully
Kerry is the Founder of VITA Life and Legacy, Funeral Celebrant, End-of-Life Doula, End-of-Life Specialist, and author of The Complete End-of-Life Planner.
This work is not just my profession. It is deeply personal.
I have experienced loss in some of its most tender forms, including the grief of losing my son, my father, my grandparents, and dear friends. Each of those losses shaped me in ways I still carry. It was after losing my grandfather that I felt a quiet, certain knowing: when the time came for my grandmother, I wanted to help with her farewell. That moment became the beginning of everything.
Over the past 18 years I have had the honour of supporting countless families through life's most significant moments, creating ceremonies that are deeply personal and meaningful. Every farewell has only deepened my belief that how we mark the end of a life truly matters.
That belief is what inspired me to write this planner. Because everyone deserves clarity, and a calm, structured path through what can otherwise feel like an impossible process.
My hope is simply this: that you feel less alone, more prepared, and quietly confident that the things that matter most are taken care of.
