There's a gentle path for that too →Celebrated opens our full venue collection across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula — the sailing club where Saturday mornings were spent, a garden estate, the clubhouse that held every milestone. The venue becomes yours for the day, and the same Candour care surrounds it: one team, one clear price, and a service shaped entirely around them — less a ceremony they'd never have chosen, and more a day they'd have loved.
Your venue for the service and farewell, with the cremation at a trusted Victorian crematorium nearby — from $12,029 inc GST.Your venue for the service, then the graveside farewell at their chosen cemetery — from $10,864 inc GST.
It's the only choice we'll ask you to make today. The venue, the music, the flowers, the words — every other decision waits until we're sitting down together, and we'll guide each one when it comes.

Any hour, anywhere in Melbourne.
Day or night, every day of the year, we come to your loved one anywhere in Melbourne and bring them gently into our care. Nothing else needs deciding tonight — the venue, the day itself, all of it can wait until you're ready.

Cared for by our own team at Moorabbin.
Washed, dressed and cared for at our Moorabbin location, by our own team. In the days before the service, you're welcome to spend time with them — a viewing or private farewell, arranged together.

Every choice open, nothing decided until it feels right.
One arranger, beside you throughout — and here, the full range opens. Every coffin in our collection, from hand-woven wicker to polished timber. Our floral designs across five palettes. A celebrant matched to your family, music the way they'd want it, booklets designed to suit — and your venue's own menus for afterwards. We build the photographic tribute for you.

The room set, before anyone arrives.
You arrive to a room already set the way you chose — flowers placed, music ready, the tribute tested on screen — and the service is led the way you've shaped it, our team quietly holding every detail. Then the farewell:

Their spaces, their menus, nobody rushing.
Stay on at your venue for refreshments — its own spaces and menus, and nobody has to rush anywhere. In the days that follow, your arranger stays close. Their ashes come home to you in a handmade urn, made for them.The grave becomes a lasting place to return to, cared for within their cemetery. The online tribute page stays live for family far away, and a tree is planted in their name.
One clear figure, published for everyone. The price below is the complete Celebrated package — your venue's hire is passed through at exactly its price, and the coffin and flowers are chosen together at arrangement, so they're right for them, never a default.
Chosen together at arrangement — added only if, and as, you want them.
Most families add a coffin and flowers. Chosen mid-range, a typical Celebrated cremation comes to about $14,979 in total, plus your venue's hire at cost.a typical Celebrated burial comes to about $13,814, plus your venue's hire and your cemetery's plot and interment, all at cost.
The Cost of Death Report found around one in three Australian families suffered financial hardship after paying for a funeral — and regulators have repeatedly flagged that the full figure often only appears once everything has been chosen. Pricing research has also found groups with five or more branches charging around 20% above the national average (Gathered Here). We're independent, you've just seen our whole figure, and anything your venue or cemetery charges is passed through at exactly their price.

"They guided us right through the complete process of honouring our Dad — the funeral and celebration of my father's life. The level of detail and care sets them up on a completely new level… a first class send off for a first class father."

At a trusted Victorian crematorium close to your venue or your home — whichever keeps them closest to you. Your person is always cremated here in Victoria, close to home — never transported interstate. Their ashes come home to you in their handmade urn, usually within a few days of the service. It's worth asking anyone: where exactly will the cremation take place — and how far will they travel to get there?
Beautifully simply. After the service — or after refreshments, whichever your family prefers — we accompany your loved one from your venue to their chosen cemetery for the graveside farewell, and our team holds the committal there. Your cemetery's plot and interment fees are passed through at exactly their price.
Every venue is different, so there's no single rule — but the time is generous, and your arranger confirms exact timings with your venue well ahead, so nothing feels hurried. Most families gather for the service and stay on for refreshments in the venue's own spaces.
Each venue sets its own hire fee, and we pass it through at exactly that price — never marked up. We'll share your venue's figure, in writing, before anything is confirmed, alongside our published package price.
Yes — that's exactly what our Concierge experience is for. If the place you're imagining is entirely their own — a family property, a favourite stretch of coast, somewhere no list could hold — Concierge opens anywhere you can imagine, fully managed from first call to final detail.
The coffin is chosen together at arrangement — so it's right for them, never a default — and added to the package price. With Celebrated, our full collection is open to you from the start, from hand-woven wicker to polished timber, and your arranger will show you everything without any pressure.
Yes. A memorial — a service held without the coffin present, when the time is right for your family — is a format within Celebrated rather than a different package. Many venues in the collection suit a memorial beautifully, and your arranger will shape the day with you.
Yes — many people choose their venue and record their wishes quietly, in their own time, or prepay a Celebrated farewell at today's price. Everything starts gently at planning ahead.
