Ryan Little
Funeral Director – Everlight Cremations
Ryan Little is a compassionate and devoted Funeral Director at Everlight Cremations, where he takes pride in supporting families with care, dignity, and understanding. With more than five years of experience in the funeral profession, Ryan is known for his calm approach, his attention to detail, and his genuine desire to help people through some of life’s most emotional moments.
A Heart for Helping Others
Ryan’s journey into funeral service began through personal experience. After facing loss himself, he came to understand how deeply important a meaningful farewell can be — not just as a ceremony, but as a vital part of healing. This realisation inspired him to dedicate his career to guiding families through the process with empathy, professionalism, and sincerity.
Before stepping into his role as a Funeral Director, Ryan worked as an Embalmer, where he gained valuable insight into the care, precision, and respect that goes into preparing loved ones for their final farewell. That experience gave him a profound appreciation for the significance of every detail — a perspective he now carries into every service he helps to arrange.
Approach and Philosophy
For Ryan, funeral service is not just a job — it’s a calling. He believes that every person’s life story deserves to be told with warmth and authenticity, and that every family should feel supported, listened to, and cared for. His focus is on creating farewells that reflect each individual’s personality and values, ensuring that families have space to grieve, celebrate, and remember in their own way.
Families who work with Ryan often describe him as kind, approachable, and quietly reassuring. He takes time to understand what matters most to each family, offering thoughtful guidance and gentle support from the first conversation through to the day of the service and beyond.
Life Beyond Work
Outside of his professional life, Ryan’s greatest joy is time spent with his family. He deeply cherishes every moment with his four young children, whether at home or enjoying the outdoors together. An avid hunter and fisherman, and a dedicated follower of rugby and cricket, Ryan values the balance these interests bring to his life. Most importantly, time away from work keeps him grounded in what matters most — being present for his family, nurturing friendships, and staying connected to his community.
Why Ryan Makes a Difference
What sets Ryan apart is his authenticity. He approaches every family with respect and compassion, ensuring their loved one’s farewell is handled with care and meaning. His combination of professional knowledge and genuine empathy makes him a trusted presence at Everlight Cremations, where he continues to help families find comfort and peace through beautifully crafted goodbyes.
