🧵🪡💫 MEET THE MAKER - JO CARTER
Deathwalker • Shroud Artisan • Weaver of Quiet Magic

Jo Carter carries a lifetime of creativity in her back pocket, alongside bits of thread, fluff, the occasional sprinkle of glitter, and brilliant ideas that have a habit of arriving at 3am.

From costume design and whimsical doll artistry to painting and mixed media, her hands have always been creating. Today, those same hands craft bespoke artisan burial shrouds, lovingly designed to honour lives, tell stories, and reflect the unique spirit of the person they are made for.

Creating a shroud isn't simply sewing fabric.

It's storytelling in cloth.

It's essence-catching.

It's soul-dressing.

Whether your vision is as simple as a quiet whisper or bold enough to make the ancestors raise an eyebrow in admiration, Jo works closely with individuals and families to create a final wrap that feels deeply and unmistakably YOU.

Because your farewell doesn't have to be beige.

It can be soulful.
It can be symbolic.
It can be earthy.
It can be elegant.
It can be a little wild, a little weird, a little wonderful...

Or completely magical.

After all, this is YOUR final garment.

YOUR final curtain call.

YOUR way.

Wrapped with LOVE ~ Returned to NATURE.

🪶🎶💞 Some songs are written with melody…This one was written with love, grief, sunrise coffees, butterflies, Tennessee Whiskey, and the ache of missing someone whose fingerprints remain on your soul forever. It was my honour to create this song for Bern ... thank you.🌅🦋

“TWO Hearts Forever Entwined” is a tribute from Bern, to her beautiful Dad, Joe (Joseph Hastie).
A bushman. A tinkerer. A hunter & fisherman. A jack of all trades. The legendary “Timberland Terror.” A man who could fix absolutely anything … except the fact that time was slipping away too soon.

Joe transitioned peacefully on Wednesday 20th September 2023, with Tennessee Whiskey softly playing as he took his final breath and smiled into the next adventure. Bern was blessed to be by his side in that sacred moment.

This song carries their sunrise coffee mornings, his old sayings, the laughter, the garage chaos, the butterflies, the ocean between Australia and New Zealand, and the invisible thread between this world and the next.
Dad called me “sweetheart.”
And I’d give absolutely anything to hear him say it one more time.
When I look in the mirror …
I still see our sunrise in my eyes. ☀️
I love you, Dadda.
Always will.
TWO hearts forever entwined. 🤍

MY HUN 🎸🌲☕ Some stories are too big for ordinary words.
Terri & Joe’s love story became a Luv Notes memorial song … a woven tapestry of 34 years + filled with laughter, hard work, pine trees, bushman boots, late-night coffees, forgotten anniversaries, rock’n’roll, and a love that still echoes beyond this world.

From a chance meeting at the local fish & chip shop to final whispered words of love, this song honours Joe’s larger-than-life spirit and the deep connection he shared with Terri.

Reading Terri’s beautiful review touched my heart deeply:
“This song was created for me by Jo Carter of Luv Notes, it captured the strength, love and the quiet sacrifices of my husband Joe. Expressing companionship in a very touching way. A sincere tribute to partnership, loyalty and enduring love. The melody compliments the emotion perfectly. I would recommend Luv Notes to anyone going through grief at any stage.” ~ Terri

Creating these songs are more than music. They become memory lanterns ✨ carrying voices, love, humour, and stories forward for generations to hold close.
Terri, thank you so much for your kind words. 🤍

It was truly an honour to walk beside you in creating this tribute for Joe. I could feel the love, laughter, loyalty and deep friendship woven through every memory you shared. He was clearly a one-of-a-kind man with a huge spirit and an even bigger heart.

Creating Joe's song felt like stitching together little pieces of your life together … the coffees, the bushman boots, the humour, the quiet sacrifices, and the everlasting love that still surrounds you.
Thank you for trusting me with something so precious. Sending you the biggest hug and so much love. 🤍✨

Something beautiful is blooming… 🌿✨💐 I’m so excited to finally share that I’ll soon be launching my brand new website…
🤍 THE LUV CO 🤍
A loving little umbrella bringing together both of my heart-centred creations:
🎶 Luv Notes ~ personalised legacy & memorial songs
🌱 Luv Wraps ~ natural burial shrouds lovingly handcrafted with care for people and planet

And this is only the beginning … there’s MORE LUV to come 💫

The Luv Co has been created as one soulful space where love, grief, healing, remembrance, creativity, music, connection and earth-conscious living can all sit together at the same table … probably drinking herbal tea while I’m off having another wildly inspired creative idea at 2am 😄

Honestly, I feel deeply honoured to work in such meaningful spaces … helping people honour life, love and loss through music, ritual, storytelling, conscious dying and heartfelt creations made with intention.

Whether it’s wrapping someone gently for their final journey back to nature 🌱
or turning treasured memories into a forever song 🎵
everything I create comes from love first.

And the best part?
Everything I offer will be available WORLDWIDE 🌍💞

Thank you to everyone cheering me on, believing in my visions, and supporting my relentless creativity in the most beautiful and positive way possible.

Stay tuned … the next chapter is nearly here ✨

Luv,
Jo Carter 💞
