We work with you every step of the way to create the perfect send-off for you or your loved one, from initial contact to working with you and the MC/Celebration, providing digital invitations, organizing a venue or location, food, permits, music, videos, photos, decorations and permits, and everything else in between, so that you can focus on what’s important during this difficult time.

At Celebration of Life Events, we provide:

·       Living Wakes

·       Celebration of Life Events

·       Memorials

·       Funerals for those who have been cremated

·       Funerals and Memorials for Infants and Children

·       Funerals in partnership with one of our funeral providers if you choose burial over cremation

We can turn around an event in 7 days if needed, however the biggest hurdle is often location. The more unique the venue or location the harder it is to book or attain permits.

We cater for events for 10 – 1000 attendees, so do not let size worry you.

At this stage we are not in a position to deliver a funeral without the assistance from one of our partner funeral providers. This just means they can handle things like choosing coffins, transporting the body and death certificates. We will manage the event!

Our basic package is $3900 however we have many different options available to enhance the day. Including video creation, photobooks, family photoshoots and more.

If you have a venue in mind, then we can check availability and cost and book this for you. We will liaise with the venue on your behalf.

We can also help and suggest different venue options and locations if you don’t have a preferred place in mind.

Payment will need to be made directly by you to the venue on the day, or prior to the event.

50% when booking our services and 50% payment on the day prior to the event.

We serve all of Metropolitan Melbourne (including the Mornington Peninsula) and the Geelong region.

We have several celebrants that we use as part of our service which is included in your package. However, if you have a particular celebrant that you want to use, please let us know so that we can reach out to them.

We have partnered up with another service provider who will handle everything for you in relation to a direct cremation. If you would like to have the ashes present at a memorial, then you will need to wait until after the cremation and when the ashes have been returned to you. However, you may not wish to have the ashes present, and you may prefer to have a Celebration of life event instead at a later stage when the timing is right for you and your loved ones.

These types of events can be held weeks or months after the person has passed and when you are ready. Some may want to hold a Celebration of Life event shortly after a burial or cremation, others may prefer to wait until they are ready. This varies from person to person.

Unlike a traditional funeral, a Celebration of life is focused on celebrating and honouring the life they led and the joy they brought to others.

We believe at Celebration of Live Events, that storytelling is equally as important. That is why we offer some additional options that include a Storytelling Video, a Storytelling book and a Family Photoshoot.

Please refer to our website under ‘Storytelling packages’ for more information on this.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.

We can arrange for Butterfly and Dove releases, naming a star, along with our Storytelling pieces (video, book and family portrait.)  However, if there is something in particular that you would like, then we can certainly look at potentially organizing that for you.

Please note, there is an additional cost for this which varies depending on what you would like.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
