Our Team
Allistair Anderson
I’ve served in the funeral industry for more than three decades. I’ve been in many roles, working for local independents to larger national funeral directors, crematoria, and cemeteries.
Through these years, I’ve recognised the value of funerals that reflect the life, values, and character of the person who has died. So, in 2012, I started Compassionate Funerals to achieve this.
This is the highest honour to be able to serve you at one of the most challenging moments in your life.
I aim to help you understand your choices, giving you greater control and enabling you to have a service that has meaning, whether it be a simple service, a religious ceremony, or an elaborate celebration of life.
Felicity Douglas
I joined the team at Compassionate Funerals during the COVID-19 pandemic, working with families during these challenging times.
I handle the business’s office duties and work closely with the families we serve. I support them, whether that be as part of the Funeral Team or by conducting or leading a service.
I came from a Corporate background, having held a successful career in Human Resource Management.
Working in the funeral Industry wasn’t something I had planned. Still, I love the connection and creative process that’s involved in crafting a personal and meaningful funeral and can’t imagine doing anything else now.
