Christina's uncle died in 2016. She had a phone full of contacts, an event date, and no idea where to start. She spent more time googling than grieving.

Nobody was doing this. Not the way it should be done.

So she built the company she wished had existed when she needed it.

The Name

New Narrative gets its name from a bookmark on her uncle's fridge. He was a teacher. The kind who always pushed his students: find the narrative.

"I simply described who my sister was — her spirit, her style, what she loved — and somehow they brought her essence into the space."

— David D.

Who She Is

Christina started as a stage director.
You can tell.

Every detail, every moment, every transition — intentional. She went back to school and got licenced in funeral service because she wanted to be fully present for families, not just for the event.

That's not a pivot. That's commitment.

She is personally involved in every celebration she plans. Not a team. Not a coordinator who hands things off. Her.

What She Brings

You bring the person.
She builds the shape around them.

Every family is different — celebration of life event
01

Every family is different

She's worked with families who wanted an 80s dance party. Families scattered across three countries. Families honouring someone who mattered to a lot of people.

Licenced in funeral service

She understands what families are carrying when they call. The logistics, the grief, the decisions that shouldn't have to be made under pressure.

Stage-trained precision

Every transition is called in advance. The room runs because it was designed to run. The family feels that without ever noticing it.

— Emily Bootle Funeral Director & Celebrant

"She was there, making sure everything ran perfectly — but she made sure to step back and really let the event be about our friend."

— Aimee A.

The room belongs to the family. That's by design.
