Frequently Asked Questions

We understand this is an emotional time and you just want answers.

Question 1: How much does it cost?

This is a common question, but it’s hard to answer without knowing the specifics. Starting price is from $2995 up to as much as you’d like to spend. Average price in Australia is around $8,000..

Question 2: What's the difference between a Funeral Service and a Memorial Service?

Funerals are a service with the guest of honour present in a coffin or a casket.

Memorials don’t have the body present. There may be ashes or a photo’s of the guest of honour.

We tend to refer to either one as a Farewell Service.

Question 3: Can I DIY my Farewell Service?

Yes and No.

You’ll need a funeral organisation to arrange burial or cremation, but you can DIY the Farewell Service.

Question 4: Can I choose where my ashes are scattered?

Absolutely.

Scattering ashes can be done almost anywhere. If it’s legal, we’ll do it. Keeping in mind other people having a swim at the beach may not want to be swimming with your ashes.

Question 5: What do I do when someone dies?

It's a challenging time for anyone.

First, call a doctor or ambulance to organise the immediate paperwork.

Then call your funeral director to arrange transfer into our care.

Question 6: Do I need to plan ahead?

There's a few options when you plan ahead and a sense of relief when you've done so.

You can pre-plan a cremation or cremation with a farewell service. There's no payment made, but as much of the information about the guest-of-honour and your farewell plans are recorded before they die so you can minimise the stress when they pass.

You can also pre-pay for the service and lock-in the price, regardless of how long they live for.

Contact us for more details.

Question 7: Do you offer funeral insurance?

Insurance is suitable for things that might happen such as home insurance or health insurance. Death is inevitable for all of us.

We don't believe funeral insurance is the best fit for most people. Funeral bonds and Pre Paid Funerals give the best, most secure return on investment.

Question 8: Can you assist with a religious service?

Yes, we can.

We are non-denominational and are happy to accomodate each families religious beliefs.

Does this sound familiar?

Optional extras are added to your service . When you're emotional you'll often say 'Yes' to anything. Don't do this, plan ahead.

Paying for expensive services that you need to put on a credit card or creating a Go-Fund-Me page then having buyers remorse when you realised you can honour someone's life without over-paying.

Having a farewell service in a church or chapel that the guest of honour has never visited doesn't make sense.

Don't worry, we can help!

What We Do- P.E.A.C.E

Personalise the Experience

Make it personal. In spite of farewell services you've been to before, there are no rules about how to say 'goodbye'. Choose the songs they loved, decorate with memorabilia that was important or suggest attendees wear a certain colour or item of clothing.

Make sure the service reflects their personality.

Environment

Choosing the most appropriate venue is an important decision. If your guest of honour enjoyed their church or felt comfortable in a chapel- that may be the ideal venue.

If they loved the beach or a park, maybe an outdoor venue is more appropriate. What about a surf club, pub or sporting club which meant so much to them. The venue you choose reflects what was most important to the guest of honour.

Arrange the details

Small details can make a huge difference.

Traditionally, funerals are held during business hours. This suits many people but certainly not everyone.

Perhaps a Sunrise or Sunset service would be more appropriate. How about a weekend?

What would your guest of honour want?

If it's legal, let's do it.

Celebrate with Stories

Tributes focused on dates and locations are boring. No one is really concerned about which primary school the guest of honour went to.

Celebrate with stories.

What is your favorite memory?

Why was that person important to you?

What did you learn from them?

We humans connect to stories much better than locations and timelines.

Express Gratitude & say 'Goodbye'

It’s important as a society that we take time to acknowledge the life that’s been lived. It’s an opportunity to grieve in a healthy manner, to reconnect with family, friends and community and to show the next generation that every life matters.

This is probably the last opportunity to express your love for someone you've lost, at least in a formal environment.
