Alternatives to a traditional funeral

For many years,  funerals in most cultures, have remained quite sombre , very traditional and very conservative affairs.

But the funeral industry as we know it in Australia, is going through some significant changes in the last number of years.

Families are now questioning the status quo and are seeking alternatives to a traditional funeral for their loved one.  No longer bound by the limitations imposed by religion, families want the funeral ceremony tailored to avoid the same “cookie cutter” style that has been repeated time and time again.

 It may be the little things that make a big difference to really personalise someone’s funeral in an authentic way

 Perhaps choosing an alternative funeral venue. This may be a Golf Club, Community Centre, Yacht Club, Footy Club or a beautiful garden. The options are endless.

Personalising music choices. Perhaps even live music as an option.

Meaningful rituals. Rituals can be simple or they can involve everyone present.

Remembering a life lived through a personal eulogy and tributes from friends and family

We know that funerals are an important part of the mourning process.  It is equally important that they are authentic and meaningful too.
