Undertaking Grace Funerals & Deathcare
People and community focused deathcare
Undertaking Grace Funerals and Deathcare walks beside families as funeral arrangers, deathcare workers, ceremonial specialists, bereavement care providers, and educators. With compassion at the centre, we help create ceremonies and vigils that honour life with dignity, healing, and love
Funeral Care
Funerals with Transparency, Care, and Choice
Undertaking Grace was established in 2019 to bring deathcare back into the hands of families and local communities. As an independent funeral arranger in South East Queensland, we work with trusted independent mortuaries to provide gentle, transparent care for the person who has died.
Every family deserves the right to create ceremonies that are authentic, personal, and healing — ceremonies that honour both the life lived and the journey of those left behind. We design meaningful farewells, guided by compassion, clarity, and advocacy.
The Deathcare Worker (for institutions, vision & reform)
Pioneering a New Role in Care
Alongside her funeral work, Claire is pioneering the Deathcare Worker role in Australia — a dedicated profession designed to bridge the gap between healthcare, deathcare and bereavement.
This role supports families at end of life, ensures dignity and transparency in caring for the deceased, and provides non-clinical bereavement support after the funeral. It also eases the burden on staff and aligns with Australia’s new Aged Care reforms, while addressing a deeper community need for continuity through dying, death, and grief.
Claire’s mission is to see the Deathcare Worker become a recognised profession across aged care, hospices, and hospitals, ensuring every family, staff member, and community feels supported, informed, and empowered.
I chose the kangaroo paw as my symbol because its unusual shape and vivid colour speak to individuality — it doesn’t try to blend in, it blooms in its own distinct way. In grief, we are reminded that every life is unique, and so too should be the way we honour it. Funerals and rituals are not one-size-fits-all; they are deeply personal expressions of love, memory, and meaning. Just as the kangaroo paw stands apart in the landscape, each farewell can stand apart in its authenticity, reflecting the person it honours. This flower reminds me to embrace difference, to create ceremonies that truly belong to the one who has died, and to celebrate the beauty of a life lived entirely in its own colour and shape.
