💐 Honouring a Life, Your Way 💐

More and more people are choosing direct cremation as a simple and affordable option for their final journey. With the rising cost of living, and the price of traditional funeral services, it’s easy to understand why.

If you or a loved one are considering this path, a Memorial Service can be a beautiful, meaningful way to celebrate a life—without the high costs.

I offer personalised Memorial Services at a fraction of the price of a traditional funeral. Whether you’d like to gather in the comfort of your home, a peaceful park, a favourite beach, a community hall—or anywhere that holds special meaning—I’ll work with you to create a service that reflects the wishes of your loved one and meets the needs of your family.

📍 Based in the Gympie District, I’m happy to travel to your chosen memorial location—whether it’s local or beyond. Wherever you wish to gather, I’ll be there to help you honour and remember your loved one.

If you’d like to discuss your wishes or receive a quote, please feel free to reach out today. Let’s create a service that honours life your way—without all the cost.

A special congratulations to Jesse & Yanina, who finally said "I do" today at the beautiful Point Arkwright. 🌊
💍
This day is even more meaningful considering all the challenges they’ve overcome to get here. With unexpected setbacks and delays, they’ve faced it all together, and today their love and commitment to each other truly shone.

It was such a privilege to be part of their journey and help bring their elopement to life. I’m so grateful to have been a part of your special day.
Wishing you both all the best as you start this new chapter! 💖
