💜 Being able to honour a loved one shouldn’t be limited by distance. Through our secure streaming service, family and friends can be part of a funeral service from wherever they are in the world. With the family’s permission, services are streamed live and remain available to rewatch for up to three months following the funeral.

After a service, having a calm space to sit, connect, and share memories makes all the difference 💜

Our Franklin Grove Chapel opens into a cozy, fully licensed lounge and catering area, giving intimate gatherings and families a private, peaceful space to gather together.

The chapel also connects seamlessly to our outdoor reflection gardens. Filled with natural light and quiet corners, these spaces offer a gentle retreat for moments of quiet reflection before or after honouring your loved one.

FAQ: "What clothing should I provide for my loved one?" 💜

When preparing for a funeral service, choosing what your loved one wears is a deeply personal decision. There are no strict rules; it is entirely about what feels right and most meaningful to you and your family.

🧶 Many families choose clothing for their loved ones in items that feel most themselves in, like a favourite cozy sweater, a treasured hand-knit hat, or everyday attire.

🎩 Some prefer a formal outfit, a favourite dress, or a suit they loved wearing at special occasions.

🎖️ Others may select a uniform, a team jersey, or a piece that reflects their passions and story.

Our team are always here to offer gentle guidance. If you have questions about honouring your loved one’s unique memory, reach out to our caring team: Call 03 6343 2266 📞

When it comes to pre-planning a funeral, you’ll often hear the terms "Pre-Arrange" and "Pre-Pay". While both offer incredible peace of mind, they take care of two very different parts of the process:

📝 Pre-Arranging (Recording Your Wishes)
Think of this as your personal blueprint. It is entirely about what you want. You meet with our team to document your specific preferences—from the style of the service to the personal touches.

The Benefit: It removes the guesswork and emotional burden from your family, so they know exactly what matters most to you. There is no financial commitment required to simply record your wishes.

🔒 Pre-Paying (Securing the Future Financials)
This is about taking care of the costs ahead of time.

The Benefit: It locks in current prices, protecting your family from future inflation. Your funds are securely held in independent, regulated funeral benefit funds, completely lifting the financial responsibility from your loved ones' shoulders.

Want to learn more at your own pace? 📖
We have created a free, printable pre-planning eBook guide titled "A guide to pre-planning the celebration of your life, your own way". It's a gentle, step-by-step way to start thinking about your options from the comfort of home.
