"She phoned me up 23:00 at night and asked me if I'd be willing to officiate her wedding, " he says.
He started his studies to become a pastor and soon after he officiated a few weddings. The more people in the fashion industry heard about Dennis' new found passion, the more started asking him to deliver his services.
His passion for funeral services with a difference started when he realised that all his clients had a story to tell. He decided that in order to truly pay respect to a loved one, you need to celebrate their lives and what they really wanted out of life.
He decided to propose different themes to make the funerals more special and memorable. He feels that your talents and biggest dreams should be celebrated when you are buried.
