Welcome to High Heel Funerals & Ceremonies!

Our agency is the only one in Sweden that offers grief work, ceremonies and celebrancy exclusively to the lgbtqia+ communities. All the work we do is based on the fact that queer and trans people are magical, loved and important people in our communities and in the world.

Our Mission…

Is to create safer spaces for people to mark and celebrate the transitions in life (and death) and to gain access to spiritual practices regardless of our backgrounds. We welcome clients and communities of various religious and secular traditions. Our work is always centered around queer and trans experiences. We believe in radical solidarity, community organizing, body- and sex positivity and transformational justice. Together we can heal, thrive and shape a queer future.
