The Last Chapter

The Last Chapter is the end-of-life support and funeral celebrancy service of Debbie Andersen, based in Warwick, Queensland. Debbie offers compassionate, practical and emotional support to people approaching the end of life and to their families. As an end-of-life doula, she provides guidance in homes, hospitals and aged care facilities, helping families navigate care decisions, prepare for a peaceful transition and honour the wishes of the dying person. Support may include education, active listening, respite for family members, assistance with advance care planning and support for dying at home. Debbie also offers comfort and grief support after a death, helping loved ones through mourning and the practical challenges that follow.

As a funeral celebrant, Debbie works with bereaved families to create and lead personalised ceremonies that reflect the life and wishes of the person who has died. She gathers stories and memories, helps select readings or music, and coordinates with funeral directors and other providers. Services can be held at a graveside, in a chapel or at another chosen location.
