Imagine a gay man planning his own funeral, only for his family to swoop in on the day and try to rewrite everything – that's the raw, heartbreaking reality one of Bronte Price's clients faced, and he had to advocate fiercely for his wishes.

In this episode, I chat with Bronte Price, a.k.a. “your gay celebrant,” Australia's trailblazing LGBTQIA+ marriage celebrant who's now shaking up funerals too. We unpack the deep challenges queer folks face, from advocating for dying wishes to ditching heteronormative assumptions that creep into every ceremony.

We will return with our new season on Thursday, 26 February 2026.

Thanks for listening.

If you’ve ever thought, “I really should get my affairs in order,” or wondered what would happen if you suddenly couldn’t show up — this is your moment.

Through Critical Info, we’re inviting listeners of Don't Be Caught Dead to either sponsor an unpaid carer or put their own backup plan in place.

For $99 (tax-deductible), you can sponsor one carer with a full year of practical planning support — real backup, not paperwork for paperwork’s sake.
Or you can use the same tools to make sure your loved ones aren’t left guessing if something happens to you.

It’s not about being morbid.
It’s about being kind — to yourself and to the people who rely on you.

In this raw and honest chat, I sit down with Christine Pedley, a grief counsellor, death doula, and author who's turned her deepest pain into a lifeline for others. If you've ever felt lost in the silence around death and dying, this episode will hit home and remind you that talking about it isn't just okay – it's essential.

In this episode of Don’t Be Caught Dead, I sit down with Reverend Amy Firth — interfaith minister, funeral director, and spiritual counsellor — to talk about her incredible journey through grief, loss, and finding her calling in end-of-life care. From training in London with the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation, to returning to the Blue Mountains to support families, Amy shares what it means to walk alongside people in their most vulnerable moments.

We will return with our new season on Thursday, 26 February 2026.
