When a death occurs, there is a legal obligation to register the death with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) in that state. We will help you to supply BDM.
If the deceased or their remaining family members attended a church or other place of worship, that would probably be the natural choice for the funeral ceremony to take place. Keep in mind most, but not all, members of the clergy appreciate the fact funerals are becoming more personalised and there are increasing requests to have the service performed by ministers at locations other than a church.
By making the service as personal as possible. Try to carry out any wishes your loved one may have made, if known, by choosing a location/venue of importance for the Service. If they did not express any specific wishes, try to make decisions that you feel the deceased would be pleased with. We have conducted Funeral Services at Pallarenda Beach, Queens Gardens, private homes, sporting clubs and various function centres a number of times. By making the service as personal as possible.

If required, a larger venue such as showgrounds hall or rugby park can be arranged if larger attendances are anticipated or to meet catering requirements
If clergy does not agree to conduct the service outside the church or if a non-religious service is requested, our Funeral Celebrant is available to officiate at the ceremony.
A Funeral Service conducted by a Civil Celebrant has the same content as any other but without much religious content. We have always had such favourable comments about our Celebrants after the service is complete.
In summary you need to consider: how many people, is their wheelchair accessibility, is AV available, on site catering, plenty of parking, time restrictions and is the venue all weather.
Our aim is to relieve you of as much work as we can so you may then focus on being with family and working through your grief together.
