Hi, my name is Joh Fairley aka Joh Nyx and I am a Funeral Celebrant, registered social worker (AASW)and artist from Coburg. I have a social work degree with honours, from RMIT in 2007 and a Masters of Community Cultural Development from the VCA. I have worked as a case manager and grief support in numerous community settings.

My performance art practice includes working in different Melbourne based physical theatre and circus companies and constructing art rituals around grief, loss and loneliness for the Melbourne Writers Festival in 2018 and 2019.

Nyx Funerals is a startup business and is infused with my personal values of the power of creativity, ritual and the importance of access to death education and resources to encourage community death literacy and empowerment.

I am on the board for Australian Home Funeral Alliance and a member of the Natural Death Advocacy Network.

I look forward to working with you and co-creating impactful and meaningful ceremonies for your family and loved ones.
