Closing Circles was born from a gap we saw firsthand. For too long, the funeral industry only wanted to know you at the time of need. When Voluntary Assisted Dying became law in Western Australia in July 2021, that gap became impossible to ignore.
A planned death changes everything about how a family needs to be supported. Families choosing VAD often have weeks or months of clarity most people facing death never get, yet there was no one to help them use that time: to work through the legal steps, talk through what a service should look like, or simply sit with what was coming. That support gap, before the moment of death rather than after it, was the need no one else was meeting.
Closing Circles exists to fill that gap. We sit with families early, working through every wish together: viewing arrangements, who should speak, what the service should feel like, and the reassurance that when the time comes, we’ll care for their loved one’s body ourselves. We validate what families are feeling, offer practical guidance through the legal and logistical steps, and build a sense of community around them during one of the most significant periods of their lives.

Funeral Director & End-of-life Consultant
Kelly-Anne Reinikka was born in Brisbane, though "home" was never just one place. With a father in the Army, her childhood moved across Australia, teaching her early how to meet people exactly where they are, a skill that would become central to her life's work.
She lost a few close friends when she was young, and death has held her attention ever since. Not with fear, but with a quiet curiosity most people don't allow themselves. Those who know her say the same thing, she listens deeply, she feels widely, and she finds a way through a problem rather than around it.
Kelly-Anne spent more than a decade inside the funeral industry, working with long-standing and reputable companies. Over those years she saw the same patterns repeat, not through malice, but through default. Families were guided by habit, not by possibility.
Closing Circles was her answer to that. Founded in 2025, it's built on a simple belief, every life has a beginning and an end, but nothing truly closes without continuing on in some way, in the people left behind, in the stories kept, in a farewell done right.
In 2026, Kelly-Anne was named a finalist for the National AusMumpreneur Awards in the One to Watch category, recognition of a business built on her own terms and only just getting started.
More than anything, she wants every family she sits with to leave believing they got it right for the person they loved.
Our mission is to make sure no family is left guessing what their loved one truly wanted. We do this by sitting with families early, before grief takes over, so wishes are heard, understood, and honoured well before the moment they're needed most.
We're working toward a funeral industry that shows up before loss, not just after it. Through early conversations, clear pricing, and genuine guidance, from end-of-life planning to Voluntary Assisted Dying support, we want every Perth family to have the time and clarity to say goodbye on their own terms.
We promise to make ourselves available before the moment of loss, not just after it, wherever and whenever you need us, with guidance and a plan shaped entirely around what your loved one truly wanted. Just steady support until every wish is known and honoured.
