Jessica Yeoman Embalmer and Funeral Director

I’m a qualified Embalmer and practicing Funeral Director, born and raised in the Franklin community. I’m dedicated to providing respectful, compassionate care to both the deceased and their families. With a deep understanding of the emotional and cultural significance of farewell rituals, I take pride in creating meaningful, personalised experiences that honour every life story. Outside of work, I’m a wife to my husband BJ and mum to our two wonderful children, Mason and Zoey. My family reminds me daily of the importance of love, connection, and legacy—values I carry with me into every aspect of my role. Whether I’m guiding a family through funeral planning or preparing a loved one with dignity and care, my focus is always on supporting whānau with professionalism, empathy, and heart.
