The Joseph Medcalf Family

Vanessa Matosevic

Brand Manager

Vanessa has always had an interest in the funeral industry and began her dream job with Joseph Medcalf in 2018. Vanessa’s mixed background of Italian and Croatian heritage has helped her understand the wide array of funeral customs and traditions that exist in modern society. In her downtime, Vanessa is a keen sewer and enjoys travelling to new parts of the world that she hasn’t ventured to before.

Michelle Fisher

Funeral Arranger

Prior to joining Joseph Medcalf four years ago, Michelle had a successful career in freight and logistics. Michelle always had an interest in helping people which is reflected in her countless volunteered hours with Randwick Netball Association. Michelle has been a local Eastern Suburbs resident all her life, currently residing with her husband and four children in the Mascot area, the most cherished baby being her Blue Staffy Archie.
