Meet Sarah Schwamm, Location Manager at Gatton Funerals
Sarah Schwamm joined Gatton Funerals in 2024 and now serves as Location Manager. Before beginning her career in funeral service, she spent 10 years working in automotive sales. Her decision to move into funeral service was driven by a genuine passion for helping and caring for people, allowing her to support families through some of life's most difficult moments.
What Sarah enjoys most about her role is guiding families through the funeral arrangement process and helping them create meaningful farewells that reflect the life of their loved one. She finds it incredibly rewarding to provide comfort and support during challenging times and takes pride in working alongside a professional team that is dedicated to delivering exceptional care.
Outside of work, Sarah enjoys spending quality time with her partner and daughter. Whether it's a day trip to the coast or joining her partner on truck deliveries, she values the opportunity to unwind and make lasting memories with her family.
Originally from a small town in central New Zealand, Sarah moved to Australia in 2011. She has always had a passion for trucks and has driven an AB Triple, one of the largest truck combinations on Australian roads. She also speaks basic Māori.
Sarah loves the relaxed lifestyle and strong sense of community found throughout the Lockyer Valley. She appreciates the friendly nature of the people who call the region home and enjoys being part of a community where genuine connections matter.
One of the most memorable funerals Sarah has been involved with was a small family gathering held on a private property, where a loved one was honoured in front of his favourite tractor. For Sarah, it was a meaningful reflection of the importance of creating personalised farewells that truly celebrate an individual's life and passions.
Sarah is also passionate about supporting the local community. She and her team are building connections with aged care facilities across the region, and on Anzac Day proudly distributed 1,000 poppies to community members attending the local service in Gatton.
As a small team, Gatton Funerals takes a collaborative approach to caring for families. Sarah believes it is important that families feel comfortable with every member of the team, ensuring seamless support throughout the funeral journey. She is proud to lead a team that combines professionalism, genuine care and strong local connections to help families create meaningful farewells.
