Choosing where to hold a funeral or memorial is an important part of honouring your loved one. The right venue helps create a space for comfort, reflection, and connection — whether it’s a quiet, intimate service or a larger celebration of life.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some families find comfort in traditional chapels or churches. Others prefer a hall, clubroom, or even a backyard that holds special memories. Wherever feels right to you, we’re here to make it work.

We can hold funerals and memorial services in any church, community hall, club room, private home, or venue you feel is appropriate. It doesn’t need to be formal — it just needs to feel like the right space for your loved one and those gathering to remember them.

Some Local Venue Options to Consider:

Local Churches and Community Halls
Many families choose local churches or community halls for their funeral or memorial services. These venues often provide a familiar, comfortable space that can accommodate a range of service styles and group sizes. We can help coordinate all the details to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Clubrooms and Special Interest Venues
For people who were involved in clubs, sports, or service groups, holding the service in their clubroom can feel especially meaningful. It’s a way to honour their community ties in a space where they belonged.

Private Homes or Gardens
Sometimes the most personal place is at home — in a family lounge, a backyard, or on the family farm. We can help set up everything needed for a smooth and respectful farewell.

Outdoor Locations
For nature lovers, we’ve held beautiful services at places like the Esplanade Rose Garden, by the river, or at bush and coastal spots around the region. These venues can be peaceful and symbolic, though weather and permit requirements are always considered.
