Our Funeral Story

Julie Dominish is the Funeral Director and owner of Bushland Shire Funerals. Julie founded BSF to offer a more meaningful way for local families to say goodbye to their loved ones. 

Julie has been a resident of the Hornsby Shire for more than 30 years and is a recipient of The Government of NSW Community Service Award for her longstanding work with a local homeless community.  

Julie is passionate about end of life care for both the deceased and the living. She provides education in death preparedness to her local community. 

Julie was drawn to this work after the personal experience of the loss of her own parents. She is authentic, gentle, and empathic.

With the experience and guidance that Julie provides, she helps remove the uncertainty of the unknown and will keep you informed as we navigate this difficult journey together.

Julie will work with you to help you decide the type of goodbye that best suits your loved one,  yourself and  your budget.  

 Bushland Shire Funerals, funeral director - Julie Dominish is also an experienced funeral celebrant. She understands the importance of a well planned, smooth flowing service. Julie is gifted with writing unique stories of love & death.

Julie takes the time to understand your loved one's life - who they were, what was important to them and reflects in words a service that is personalised and true.  Julie is also comfortable to take the role of MC, to allow family and friends to share whilst overseeing the flow.

 Julie always begins with asking to see a photo of your person, which allows her to have a visual image of who she will be honouring.

If you require the services of a celebrant,  Julie is available - another way we care for families. When you work with the same person for the entire funeral arrangement there is no need to repeat information and continue to meet new staff.
