Brinley McDonald

Licensed Apprentice Funeral Director - #14274072-0903 - Se Habla Español

Brinley McDonald is a licensed apprentice at Berg Mortuary and is currently pursuing a degree in Mortuary Science at Arapahoe Community College. Since joining Berg Mortuary in December 2025, she has found great purpose in connecting with families and building relationships that last far beyond the services themselves. Originally from Provo, Utah, she is the oldest of five siblings and also has three step-siblings. She has always had a deep love for family and meaningful connection. Her passion for the funeral profession began at age 11 after being inspired by the funeral directors who cared for her great-grandparents’ services, a moment that shaped her desire to dedicate her life to serving others in times of loss. She served a mission in Chile for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she learned Spanish and developed a deep love for the people and culture. This experience has allowed her to connect with and support Spanish-speaking families in a meaningful and compassionate way. Outside of work and school, she enjoys rock climbing, snowboarding, and spending time with her family. She feels deeply grateful to be part of the Berg Mortuary team and considers it a privilege to serve in one of life’s most difficult moments.
