Our Board of Trustees and Volunteers
Kirsten Rust – Chairwoman, Founder, Trustee, Memorial Consultant and Fundraiser And Event Coordinator
I have been a funeral director for 20 years and gained my diploma in 2011. During my time in this profession I have had the privilege but emotional job of looking after bereaved parents. As funeral directors we are able to cover the costs of a funeral but there are some external costs that we have no control over and I found some of my families found this a financial struggle. Setting up Tyler’s Friends Charity will now enable us to help families with these costs. I had the honour of looking after Tyler when he passed away and was pleased I was able to help Heidi and Lee give their little man the funeral he deserved and carry out their wishes. I was then involved in organising and participating in the quiz night and Clarendon walk that raised funds to pay for a headstone for Tyler’s final resting place.
