A Queensland mother-of-two has organised and attended her own 'living' funeral after being diagnosed with terminal stage-four bowel cancer.
Kelly Hardy, 44, was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in August 2019, when a scan revealed inoperable tumours were growing in her liver and lungs.
The Gold Coast mother, who worked for her family's fencing business, had experienced no symptoms apart from some mild stomach discomfort.
After being told she had 12 months to live, Ms Hardy decided to throw herself a 'living funeral' to celebrate her life alongside her closest family and friends.
