#1 Welcome to Red Dot Voices
Red Dot Voices
Introduction to the Red Dot Voices series, its host, defining creativity, and what to expect in future episodes.
info_outlineFor this episode of Red Dot Voices, I spoke to Ang Jolie Mei.
Her father was one of the pioneers of Singapore’s funeral industry, and after he passed away when Ang Jolie was just 24, she joined her mother in taking over the family business.
Having taken time out to work in finance, Ang Jolie returned to the funeral industry and set up The Life Celebrant in 2010. She had travelled widely to study different funeral practices, and was motivated by a desire to provide a more holistic service to families of the deceased.
As one of very few women funeral directors in Singapore, she has a fascinating perspective and in 2017 she shared her experiences in the memoir, Dying To Meeting You: Confessions of a Funeral Director. She subsequently won the ‘Most Innovative’ prize at the 2019 Women Entrepreneur Awards.
Ang Jolie’s passion for living life with empathy, without regrets, and celebrating it fully, is a very valuable message - now more than ever.
