It’s time to meet the team! Over the next few weeks we will introduce you to our lovely staff
Starting with our most recent addition Sarah
Sarah Barlow – Funeral Director
I have called Methven home for the past 10 years and feel fortunate to be part of such a supportive and caring community. As a mum to two boys who attend Mt Hutt College, family and community are values that are very important to me. I am the most recent addition to Memory Funerals with over 4 years experience in the industry.
Over the years, I've realised that some of the most meaningful work we can do is simply being there for people. That's what drew me to funeral directing. Being entrusted to care for a loved one and support families is a responsibility I consider both an honour and a privilege. I enjoy building genuine connections with the families I meet and helping them feel supported, understood, and cared for as they navigate the tough days ahead.
When I'm not at work, you'll usually find me with my boys, or at the gym, out enjoying nature, or spending time on creative hobbies. Looking after my own wellbeing is important to me, as it allows me to be fully present and give my best to the families I have the privilege of serving.
I am proud to be a part of a locally owned and operated Funeral Home caring for our mid Canterbury families.
