Meet Nicole Caldwell
Funeral Officiant in Phoenix | Grief Coach | Public Speaker
Who Nicole Is
Nicole Caldwell is both a funeral officiant in Phoenix and a grief coach serving clients nationwide. She combines years of training in mortuary science in Phoenix with a natural gift for public speaking and compassionate listening. Her mission is to create meaningful ceremonies and to guide individuals through their grief healing journey with warmth, presence, and care.
Nicole’s Story
Nicole’s journey into this work began with the sudden loss of her mother to cancer. Walking through that experience, she realized how overwhelming it can feel when there are no plans in place and no one to guide the way. That loss became the reason she believes so strongly that no family should have to face grief or funeral planning alone.
In the years that followed, she returned to school and earned her degree in mortuary science at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Balancing classes, motherhood, and service, she discovered that her heart was fully in this calling. For Nicole, being a funeral officiant in Phoenix is not just about leading a service. It is about listening with compassion, honoring each story, and creating a space where love and memory can be celebrated.

Nicole Beyond Work
When she isn’t serving families or coaching clients, Nicole enjoys a full and joyful life in Arizona with her daughter. The two of them share a love of music and can often be found at concerts, singing along to their favorite songs. They also enjoy traveling and exploring new places, from quiet getaways in nature to vibrant cultural experiences. At home, Nicole finds balance in dancing and practicing yoga, both of which help her stay grounded and centered.
These moments of connection and joy with her daughter shape the way she approaches her work. Nicole believes that celebrating life, even in the smallest ways, helps us carry resilience into times of loss. The same warmth and energy she brings to her own family is what she offers to the families she serves.
