Over the past 7 days, we have been blessed to care for and farewell four good blokes from our local community.

Each of them was unique in their own way, and each farewell reflected the life they lived, the people they loved, and the character they were.

Vale Craig Sunman
Craig made his final journey with the motorbike hearse — a fitting send-off for a bloke who was one of a kind.

Vale Dave Morrison
Dave made his final journey in our Country Road Funerals hearse — a dignified farewell for a much-loved bloke whose life, laughter, friendships and memories will be carried by all who knew him.

Vale Errol “EK” Schutz
EK was carried on his final journey by his own ACCO truck, a tribute that could not have suited him better.

Vale Gordon Hampel
And Gordon topped off the run with a camel-drawn carriage — a remarkable farewell for “The Camel Man” and “The Sheik of Arrow Creek.”

Four different lives.
Four very different farewells.
Four good local blokes, all remembered with love, respect, and a fair bit of character.

It has been an honour for us to walk alongside their families and help give each of them a farewell that truly reflected who they were.

Rest easy, Craig, Dave, EK and Gordon.
You each left your mark. 🌾
