Every farewell we hold, side by side with every price in the open — and nothing decided until we're sitting down together.
This is the only question that really divides things, and most families can answer it straight away. Everything after it is about how the day is held, not whether.
The shape most families picture. Everyone together on one day, the coffin present, the service and the farewell in the same few hours. It ends with a cremation or a burial, and that is the one other choice we'll ask you to make early.
Held as Simple, Celebrated or Concierge — the three experiences in step two.
The gathering happens when everyone can be there — a fortnight on, or a season. They aren't in the room; their photograph is, and their ashes too if you'd like them. It suits families spread across states, and families who would rather grieve first and gather when they're ready.
Held as Simple, Celebrated or Concierge — and it works whether we carry the cremation first or it has already happened elsewhere.
No service, and nobody needing to be anywhere. They are bathed, dressed and cared for by our own team, and the cremation takes place quietly at a Victorian memorial park. Their ashes come home to you by hand, in a handmade timber box carrying their nameplate.
A gathering can still come later. Many families choose this now and hold a memorial weeks or months on, when everyone can be there.
The person themselves, unembalmed and in a natural shroud, committed to open ocean three thousand metres down. The first full-body sea burial in Victoria in more than a decade was ours to carry. It is the one farewell on this page that cannot be arranged after someone dies — the federal permit needs their own wish, in writing.
Not the same as scattering ashes at sea, which needs no permit and which we arrange as part of any farewell above.
Still not sure? Call 1300 788 881, any hour. We'll ask three or four gentle questions and tell you plainly which one fits. Most families ring before they've decided anything at all.
A funeral and a memorial are each held within one of three experiences — the Simple Farewell, the Celebrated Farewell or the Concierge Farewell. They differ in where the day happens, how much choice is put in front of you, and how much we carry. The care in the band above is identical in all three.
The whole day in one gentle place. A chapel at a trusted memorial park, the farewell, and refreshments a short walk apart — with fewer decisions along the way.
Somewhere that was theirs. A sailing club, a garden, an estate — yours for the day, with the gathering afterwards flowing straight on in the same place.
Anywhere you can imagine, produced by one senior hand. Every detail anticipated, so your only job on the day is to be present.
