A message from our founder:

“The inspiration for Fiesta Farewell came from a personal experience. While helping a close friend plan her own funeral, I was asked about local services for celebrating the life of a loved one. It soon became clear that there wasn’t an easy-to-use comprehensive local directory of people and services that could help with such an important life event.

Julie’s inspiration for Fiesta Farewell blossomed from her years of hands-on experience as a probate professional, supporting countless grieving families. Over time, Julie, recognised a growing need for a service that could ease the burden of funeral planning while creating a safe, supportive space for celebrating life in a personal and meaningful way. It became clear that families deserved, and required, more than just information – they needed a digital platform that simplified and eased the search for reliable funeral service providers. Having Fiesta Farewell, a free, trustworthy, accessible space – all in one place – empowers them to plan a unique celebration of life.

Our Vision

At Fiesta Farewell, we believe that every life deserves to be remembered in a way that is unique and personal. We also understand that grief looks different for everyone. Some families prefer a traditional ceremony, while others find comfort in a celebration filled with music, storytelling, and laughter.

We also recognise that more people want to pre-plan their own celebration of life. It’s becoming more popular for people to take control of their final farewell, ensuring their wishes are met and relieving their families of the emotional and financial burden that can come with making difficult decisions.

Our handy pre-planning guides help you design your own celebration of life event, from choosing a venue and music to selecting keepsakes for guests.

A message from our founder

The inspiration for Fiesta Farewell came from a personal experience. While helping a close friend plan her own funeral, I was asked about local services for celebrating the life of a loved one. It soon became clear that there wasn’t an easy-to-use comprehensive local directory of people and services that could help with such an important life event.

Driven by curiosity and a desire to help, I began asking friends, family, and clients what they would want to know when planning a meaningful farewell. Those conversations revealed a common need: an accessible way to navigate the process while also supporting local businesses and service providers.

From there, Fiesta Farewell was born – starting with a simple flow chart to guide funeral planning and growing into a resource dedicated to connecting people with trusted local services.

My hope is that this all-in-one platform provides clarity, compassion, and connection for people when they need it most.
