Personalise
The best farewells services reflect the personality of the guest of honour

Location
Where was their 'happy place'? At home, in the bay, at a local park? If they've never been to a church or chapel, why have the farewell service there?

Arrange the details
The small things can become big things. Remember them as they were with music, pictures and memorabilia

Celebrate with Stories
Forget the boring eulogy. Celebrate with your favourite memories, what you learnt from them and why they were so special to you

Express Gratitude
Say goodbye in a way which honours a life well lived, andgives the family some closure
I started Moreton Bay Funerals to offer locals a non-traditional alternative for their farewell service.
The fastest growing section of the funeral industry is Direct Cremation. This gives the family the option of a small gathering at home, or a larger gathering at the beach, park, pub or sporting club.
If it's legal, let's do it!
The farewell should reflect the guest-of-honours personality
Paying less money doesn't mean you loved them less
