Transforming Compassion into Practice
As part of his ongoing mission to support the funeral profession and wider community, Ahmed Alsisi is releasing a powerful new series of books in 2025–2026.
Each title is written from lived experience, professional insight, and a passion for transforming the way we care for families and communities. These books are designed to inspire, educate, and empower funeral directors to see their work not just as a profession, but as a calling to serve, connect, and transform lives.
Rising From The Rubble of Gaza ... To Plant A White Rose In Wales
This is the real-life story of Ahmed Alsisi, sharing a journey born from war, pain, and great loss.
The book begins in Gaza, where the Ahmed details the profound loss and struggle for survival that defined his early life. It follows the incredible effort to transplant hope and build a new life in Wales culminating in the establishment of the compassionate White Rose Funerals.
But this book is far more than a memoir. It is a powerful, urgent call to reform our societal approach to grief, trauma, and mental health. Drawing on personal experience and professional insight, Ahmed challenges the status quo, advocating for culturally sensitive, holistic care across the funeral industry, support services, and within minority communities.
A story of resilience, faith, and the deep, human capacity to turn profound suffering into meaningful service.
