Eco Holistic Funerals
Our services are centred around
Story-telling, Love and creating Meaningful Memories.
Passionately we are authentic about briging death out of the shadows and in to the light. Our experienced Holistic Funeral Consultants strives to create funerals with meaning, integrity, love and unbridled emotion at a time when grief can be overwhelming.
Simple, Meaningful & Earth-Friendly Options
At Eco Holistic Funerals, we like to provide you with a uniquely different experience from that of a traditional funeral home. Respecting the way you wish to honour and being mindful of the earth and the value of money are paramount to our philosophy.
Our professional Funeral Consultants at Eco Holistic Funerals understand the unique needs of you and your family and can respect and assist with each individual requirement. We are aware of how to care and arrange a meaningful funeral service to a simple departure with minimal environmental impact which aids in the conservation of natural resources. From caskets, to urns made of biodegradable materials to environmentally
friendly embalming methods.
Eco Holistic Funerals evolved with the voice of removing the secrecy and stiffness traditionally associated with funerals and create real, deep connection with our families instead. Through connection and our unique set of processes, we are able to design personalised funerals that truly reflects the person who has died and honour their legacy in an
entirely new and modern way.
We will conveniently come to you.
Our planning processes are unique, we invite you to share stories of your loved one and work in creative collaboration to create, capture and deliver a remarkable story that would proudly celebrate and focus on your loved one's life accomplishments, the lives of the people they touched and the legacy they leave behind.
Unlike traditional funeral homes, whereby time is limited, for us and with us time isn't restricted, we do not follow the traditional way instead we work with your loved one in mind to create a fitting tribute.
Its a true privilege to be on this journey with you.

Living Wakes
A wake is a special time when loved ones gather to honour and celebrate a person’s life – and for some of us, it’s an occasion we really don’t want to miss out on!
Living Wakes contain the same key elements as our usual Wakes (venue selection, catering, music, readings, video ), the key difference is that a Living Wake is designed in collaboration with someone while they’re still alive. Rather than having a service after you are gone a Living Wake is held with you the guest of honour.
Founder
I am Carly Saint-Fleur with gratitude I am the founder of Eco Holistic Funerals and a Holistic Funeral Consultant.
I create the opportunity for families to farewell their loved one in a deeply rich, meaningful and sacred way by providing alternative options whilst initiating the creation of a safe space to grieve and heal a long the journey.
With our unique set of processes and with our passionate belief of the power of storytelling, we are able to curate personalised funerals that truly reflect the person who has died and honour their lives in an entirely new, beautiful and modern way, with nature being the canvas or amongst the tools.
I will help empower families to reclaim control of the dying process by offering all kinds of services with Eco being primarily in mind these include home funerals, enlightened memorials, living wakes and bedside vigils with my aim to bring death out of the shadows and into the light.
Sometimes simply having another choice that sits well with my soul, makes such a difficult time so easy, easy with the sense that the decisions we could make would reflect who we are as people and the lives we wish to lead well and to celebrate our loved ones life in the manner we should.
