We're a Top 5 finalist in the 2026 Business Excellence Awards, and we'd love your vote for People's Choice.

Vote by Friday 6 November: https://frankstonbusinesschamber.com.au/frankston-mornington-peninsula-business-excellence-awards-gala-dinner-2026/ -choice

Candour Funerals has been named a finalist in two categories at the Frankston & Mornington Peninsula Business Excellence Awards:

• Innovation & Sustainability
• Professional Services

Those two are decided by the judges. The People's Choice Award is decided by you.

We opened on 1 November 2024 to do funerals differently: every cost explained upfront, no surprises on the day, a carbon-positive business, and the first funeral home in Victoria to run a hybrid hearse. To be recognised twice before our second birthday means a great deal.

This belongs to the families who have trusted us, and to the local partners and small team who help us care for them.

If we've cared for someone you love, worked alongside you, or you simply like what we stand for, please vote for Candour Funerals. And please share this post. People's Choice is won by word of mouth, so sharing really helps.

Thank you to the Frankston Business Chamber for the recognition. Winners will be announced on 20 November.

Hello, spring.
The first day of spring feels like the perfect time to share some of the beautiful flowers available for our floral tributes.

Fresh, colourful and full of character, with so many beautiful combinations to choose from.

A beautiful way to reflect someone in a way that feels natural and personal.

🏁🛸🏁We’ve crossed the finish line of the 2026 Variety Victoria Bash — and what a privilege it’s been to play a small part in something this big.

Over ten unforgettable days, the Bash travelled 5,274 km from Halls Gap to Exmouth, through regional and remote communities across Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.

But the real achievement goes well beyond the kilometres travelled.

This year, Variety Victoria’s Bash raised a record-breaking $2,664,457 for Victorian kids. Along the way, Variety Victoria delivered $166,071 in grants to 1,394 kids, helping provide everything from inclusive playgrounds and mobility equipment to sensory spaces, adapted bikes and learning resources.

Behind those numbers are months of fundraising, generosity and hard work from Bash crews, their families and friends, donors, volunteers, supporters, communities and partners.

From our little corner of the Bash, it’s been pretty special to see that generosity and community spirit up close.

We’re proud to have played our part, and very grateful to everyone who supported us along the way.

A huge congratulations to Variety Victoria and the entire Bash community on a record-breaking year — and, most importantly, on what all that fundraising will help make possible for kids across Victoria. ❤️

Yesterday’s Candour Connects was such a lovely one! 🕯️

We had so much fun making our own candles with Moya from Fenix Candle Co — and hearing about the thoughtful process behind them.

Moya shared how she gives used bottles a second life, sourcing them from businesses across the Mornington Peninsula and transforming them into beautiful, eco-friendly candles. Such a clever and sustainable idea. Yesterday we also used cute op shop finds and vessels brought from home.

Our Candour Connects activities have continued to grow, and one of the best parts has been getting to know more and more people in our local community. We’re loving seeing familiar faces return, alongside new ones each month.

A big thank you to Moya for sharing her skills (and patience!) with us, and to everyone who joined us. 🤍

Follow Candour to keep an eye out for our next Candour Connects event — everyone is always welcome.

Variety Victoria Bash update 👽🛸👽

Day 6 — rest day in Kalgoorlie, so a good moment to talk about the why.

The Variety Vic Bash is Australia’s longest-running charity motoring event. Every dollar raised helps Victorian kids living with disability, illness or disadvantage — wheelchairs, communication devices, sensory equipment, and the chance to join in.

This year’s Bash has raised over $2.4 million so far, on top of $33 million since it began.

We look after families on their hardest days. Helping kids have brighter ones felt right.

🚀 Candour is hitting the road with Car 747 – The UFO!

We’re very proud to be a major sponsor of Car 747 – The UFO as it takes on this year’s Variety Bash.

Starting in Halls Gap and finishing in Exmouth, the crew will travel through regional and remote Australia, raising money to help kids living with disability, disadvantage or illness.

It’s a big adventure for an even bigger reason. And supporting people and communities in ways that genuinely make a difference is something we’re very happy to get behind.

The UFO crew has already smashed its original $10,000 fundraising goal — but there’s no reason to stop there.

🛸 Follow along as we share some of their adventures from the road.

And if you’d like to help them raise even more for Variety, you can donate here: [link in bio]

Safe travels, Car 747. May the roads be kind and the UFO remain (mostly) roadworthy. 💚

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It’s not often your personal values and a business opportunity line up perfectly. Our new partnership with JOY Media | JOY 94.9 | Independent LGBTQIA+ Media is one of those rare moments.

Half of Candour’s founding team is part of the LGBTQI+ community, and many more of us have family and friends who are too. Supporting JOY, Melbourne’s LGBTQI+ radio station, isn’t just good business. It’s personal.

It’s also a direct reflection of who we are: an empathetic, courageous funeral company that leads by example. And as we work towards B Corp certification, partnerships like this are exactly the kind of action we want to be known for.

Good to have you with us, JOY 🩷

💛🎶 Recently, we had the talented Sandhurst Singers perform for residents at a local aged care home as part of our Candour Connects community program.

There’s something special about live music. It brings people together, sparks conversation and creates moments of joy.

Thank you to the Sandhurst Singers for so generously sharing their time and talent. It was a wonderful afternoon, and we’re grateful to Peninsula Essence for featuring the story in their July edition.

Copies of the July edition are now available throughout the Mornington Peninsula.

Yesterday’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea was everything we hoped it would be 💚🫖💚🫖💚

A beautiful morning spent junk journalling with
Sharing Devonshire Tea, warm conversations and genuine connection with such a wonderful group of people.

We’re also so proud to share that Candour is dollar matching every donation made — meaning together we’ve now raised over $1,000 for cancer research in support of Cancer Council Australia.

Thank you to everyone who came along, donated, shared stories and helped make the morning so special ✨
