ABOUT DEBBIE MALYNN

Before entering the funeral industry, Debbie has a packed and colourful working history in the arts, theatre, film, events and hospitality. Her professional and personable approach grew a very broad client base: from Acer to Conran, JCB to the V&A, McVities to Motorhead.

Having produced a vast number of private events following attending a very formulaic and cold funeral for a family member she started to look into how we say our goodbyes.

Always a fan of a play on words and with the desire to make change, she started out working under the provocative title, ‘A Funeral To Die For’.  Whilst this achieved in attracting attention the sensitivity of some of the most tragic and heart breaking losses quickly deemed this as a great tag line but not a name to grow with.

Having studied Philosophy and Theatre in the early 90’s, little did she imagine that such interests would facilitate and compliments  her work today. When it comes to writing and creating bespoke funerals the two subjects go hand in hand.

Embracing counter culture, growing up in the underground dance scene, freedom of life-style, freedom of thought, paired with positive spirit, Debbie’s open approach to people and life brings a fresh and progressive energy into an industry resistant to change.

A sensitive and natural leader with an innovative and lateral thinking mind, Debbie has secured the reputation of ‘making the impossible possible’.

Debbie Malynn is a regular guest speaker at Kings College University London as a part of the Science, Tech & Humanity BA Hons discussing death in the modern day and the future of the death industry socially and environmentally.
