BRAD TATTERSALL

Brad Tattersall - Funeral Director
Embarking on the journey of funeral service in 1993, I am a career funeral director.
Being with families and working in funeral service has provided me with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Funeral service is not simply a job, not 9 to 5, it’s who you are, your identity and what sort of lifestyle you lead. Having worked in all aspects of the industry and have served as a councillor with the Victorian division of the Australian Funeral Directors Association (AFDA) – I know I am a Funeral Director.
With more than 30 years of funeral service I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the families that I serve. Being in-tune with what people want, and constantly evolving is also important. I genuinely care and am genuinely interested in people.
A Funeral Director is who I am, who I want to be; for me, funerals are personal.

Being
Life ;
Our response ,
Both considered
And spontaneous
To inevitable change ,
Defines us.
Our character
Is always evolving
According to choice.
Our hearts
Always investing
According to love.
Our sense of wonder
Always in awe ,
Filled with
Deep respect.
Our cynicism ,
Carried like a lance ,
Ready to defend
The indefensible.
We lock horns
With truth ,
Then find humility
In acceptance.
Today,
I learned
I am dying.
My existence
My ideas
Will perish.
We are ,
Transient shadows
Performing tricks
To survive.
We exist
To live.
To live
We die.
Our space
Disappears.
We cease
To be.
But our character
Remains
In the hearts
Of those
Who have loved us.
I’m headed for
The abyss ,
After a glimpse
of being ;
I made it.
My journeys
End.
