Experience You Can Trust

Get the funeral care your loved one deserves at a price that is right

Welcome to Final Wishes Funerals - in partnership with Picaluna Funerals in Melbourne.
At the end of someone's life, their loved ones are plunged into a devastatingly difficult and emotional place. Organising the funeral of a loved one can not only be challenging but also confusing and quite difficult for both family and friends, especially when they don’t know where to begin, what choices they have, or what is reasonable to expect. We are here to provide much-needed support and help during such a difficult time. There are so many things to do, sometimes you just don’t know where to start. Funeral directors play an essential role in informing and guiding families and ensuring that the final farewell for their loved one is with minimum stress. As a funeral director, I can support you through this difficult time, guiding you with the right information and choices of various services and styles that can suit your budget, ensuring that the final farewell for your loved one is what they would have wanted, and is both respectful, a celebration of their life and beautiful. Please remember that funeral services are not universal, one size does not fit all. Call me or submit a request for a chat using this form.

I work in partnership with Picaluna Beautiful Funerals. Picaluna is a community of like-minded people, helping families to create more authentic, compassionate and affordable cremations, burials and memorials. Picaluna felt that there was a much better way to conduct funerals, and are changing the way funerals are done for the better. This change is underpinned by their core purpose to help communities to honour, mourn, celebrate, heal and rejuvenate. Picaluna also chooses to donate 5% of our profit to your choice from one of our Picaluna Charity partners. The Picaluna partnership supports me/us in the logistics required to arrange and conduct a funeral; including transfers, registering the death with Births, Deaths & Marriages, access to a vast range of suppliers, mortuary care, and invoicing. This allows me to spend more time with you, crafting and delivering a personalised ceremony, authentic to the one you loved.
