About this listen

What the Living Can Learn from the Departed

Hosted by two funeral directors who spend more time in chapels than most people spend in cafes, Celebrate Good Lives is a podcast about life, seen through the lens of death.

After years of helping families say goodbye, we’ve realized something: the people who’ve passed on still have a lot to teach us. From meaningful last words to the hilarious (and sometimes awkward) moments at funerals, we’ve collected stories, lessons, and reminders about what really matters - love, connection, laughter, and leaving things a little better than you found them.

Each episode, we share what we’ve learned from the back of the chapel — the quiet insights, the big emotions, and yes, the occasional funeral mishap. We’ll also talk with guests who work in grief, caregiving, legacy, and life — people who help us all understand how to live fully, love deeply, and not take ourselves too seriously.

This isn’t a podcast about death. It’s about life — and how to make yours a good one, all the way to the end.
