Our Team
Ben Cullen

Ben is a co-founder of Cullen Funerals and the lead funeral director, known for his calm presence and steady decision-making during times of loss. His background spans funeral directing, funeral celebrancy, events and logistics, and emergency service management, shaping a strong ability to bridge the emotional and practical realities families face when someone dies.
Ben is recognised for slowing situations down, explaining things clearly, and taking pressure off families when decisions feel overwhelming or time-critical. As a co-founder, he is focused on building a funeral home where systems support people, not the other way around, and where funerals are never sales-driven, rushed, or impersonal.
