Louise Winter

Louise Winter is a writer, a funeral director and the founder of Poetic Endings, a modern funeral service in London founded on the belief that a good funeral can be profound and transformational in helping to acknowledge and accept that someone has died.

Louise is also the co-director of Life. Death. Whatever. - an award-winning festival and community that exists to change the dialogue around death and dying. Her first book, written with end-of-life doula Anna Lyons, will be published by Green Tree (Bloomsbury) in April 2020.

Louise regularly writes about her work and has been featured in publications around the world, including Vice, the BBC, Stylist, the Telegraph, the Evening Standard and the Guardian. In October 2017, she did a TEDx talk at King’s College London inspired by the tattoo on her ex boyfriend’s arm. In 2017, Louise and Anna won a Death Oscar, a Good Funeral Award, for their groundbreaking work.
