Meet Sheridan Walder, location manager at White Lady Funerals Sutherland

How long have you been location manager?
I have been with White Lady for 15 years and Location Manager of the Sutherland funeral home for the past 10 years. In that time I have had the honour of assisting and guiding hundreds of families in personalising their loved ones farewell.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I feel grateful working with a team of well experienced staff that have vast knowledge to create personalised funeral services with the ability to arrange and conduct services.

What do you enjoy in your spare time?
My hobbies include travelling, walking and time out with family and friends. What we provide in our role is intensive care for our client families at such an important and emotionally difficult time. Our ‘down time’ certainly enables us to appreciate our own connections to family and friends and my time with them is highly valued.

Are there any special community groups you work with or support?
We support the local community:

• Early Term Loss Memorial Services at Woronora Memorial Park. We officiate and host a monthly memorial service for gestational losses where a funeral has not officially needed to be held. These families through Sutherland and St George Hospitals are invited to attend a Memorial Service in acknowledgment of their loss.
• Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Service – hosted yearly to encourage awareness and create support within the community for families who have suffered a pregnancy or infant loss. This provides an opportunity to be together in shared experience for our local community.
• Candlelight Christmas Memorial Service – hosted annually for loved ones to be remembered at Christmas. Each family attending takes home a candle with their loved ones name to light and remember at Christmas time.
• Carols by Candlelight at Woronora Memorial Park – a joint Carols event that is hosted for the local community in support of Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker appeal. This is a fundraiser event for the local community to share the Christmas spirit in donations for families doing it tough at Christmas. This has established and built networks with our local community beyond funeral services.
• Bay Babes – White Lady Sutherland has supported Bay Babes in donations and attendance of fundraising events. Bay Babes is a local charity that provides awareness, fundraises, and provides practical assistance to breast cancer charities and support for families diagnosed.
• Community Education program – offering free community education to community groups, aged and nursing care covering topics such as Grief & Loss, Caring for the Caregiver and Role of the Funeral Director.
