Reimagining what a funeral can be – Rebecca Lyons

Welcome to Thursdays at 3 our regular series of conversations with people living and working at the end of life.

Today’s conversation takes us to Tasmania to meet Rebecca Lyons – a mum, with a background in everything from finance to real estate but these day’s runs a family led home funeral service, called Solace.

Bec says she is a person who has “always had death in her life”, which might help explain her passion for “reimagining what a funeral could be.”
