Spending time with and listening to families is key to organising a personal and meaningful funeral. Every person’s story is unique and we are here to help those grieving to share their loved one’s story in a way that truly represents them.
Kelly Scott – Past National President (2023–2025)
Funerals Australia (formerly Australian Funeral Directors Association
Reflecting on her presidency, Kelly shared:
It has been an honour to serve as National President of the Australian Funeral Directors Association, now Funerals Australia, from 2023 to 2025. Throughout this period, our focus has been clear: to promote professional standards across the funeral profession and to increase awareness of the value of a farewell—whatever form that may take.
During my tenure, Training and Education have been at the forefront of our work, ensuring funeral professionals are well-equipped to support and care for families at one of life’s most difficult times.
The introduction of the Funeral Learning Hub has been a milestone achievement, providing accessible, ongoing professional development that reflects our commitment to excellence.
At Funerals Australia, we want every family to have a positive and informed experience when arranging a funeral. Choosing a Funerals Australia Member means choosing a funeral director who upholds a strict code of ethics and conduct, complies with PEV standards (premises, vehicles and equipment), and completes regular professional development.
Funerals are too important to leave to just anyone, and I am proud to have played a part in strengthening the standards and resources that safeguard families and uphold the trust of our communities.
