Kylie, Talei, and Jane had a wonderful morning at Limberlost nursery yesterday, attending their annual Pink Ribbon Morning Tea to raise funds for breast cancer research. It was the perfect morning for such a meaningful event.

Their special Pink Ribbon Cupcakes will be on sale for the next few days at Vines Café and all proceeds will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

This morning, our team - Kylie, Trent, and Talei - had the pleasure of hosting members of GOPIO Cairns for an open day and information session on funeral processes.
We were also fortunate to be joined by Jing Lu from Law Plus Australia, who shared valuable insights during the session.
A big thank-you to everyone who attended and contributed to the meaningful
discussions. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share knowledge, and support our community.

Meet your Cairns Funeral Directors Team!

This week we'd like to introduce you our fantastic FNQ Regional Manager, John!

John was born in Dalby, Queensland and grew up in a musical family where creativity has always been the driving force. He began playing drums at the age of 13, and after finishing school moved to the Gold Coast, then Los Angeles for a full-time career as a recording and touring drummer.

In 2016, John returned to Australia in search of a new challenge and made a successful transition into the funeral industry where he has held various roles in Brisbane, Northern NSW and Melbourne. In 2022 John accepted a Management position in Far North Queensland. The move has been an extremely rewarding chapter in his life, offering new challenges and a deep sense of purpose.

If you'd like to chat to John about how he can help you plan a beautiful farewell, give us a call today!

Meet your Cairns Funeral Directors Team!

This week we'd like to introduce you to one of our brilliant Funeral Arrangers, Jane!

Jane has a strong background in customer service management, bringing empathy, professionalism and a deep commitment to people-focused care. She regularly supports families from diverse cultural backgrounds and understands the importance of honouring each individual’s traditions with compassion and respect.

Outside of her role, Jane enjoys long, relaxed lunches with friends in the beautiful tropics of North Queensland. When she’s not supporting families or soaking up the sunshine, you’ll likely find her on the sidelines, proudly cheering on her kids at their sporting events.

If you'd like to chat to Jane about how she can help you plan a beautiful farewell, give us a call today!

A reminder for families as we approach the wet season.

🕊️ 𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻-𝗨𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝟯 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿
Our cemetery team will be doing a tidy-up from 3 November (it’ll take about a month), helping keep our resting places peaceful, safe and looking their best.
Over the years, a few “extras” have found their way onto graves - plastic flowers, glass vases, wind chimes, fairy lights, flags, toys, and even the odd stubby or garden gnome 🍺💐✨ While left with love, they can become hazards or go flying in a good Cairns breeze 🌬️
If you’ve left any precious or sentimental items, please collect them before 3 November, as removed items can’t be stored or returned.
White crosses that are secure and in good condition will stay put.
