We held a beautiful memorial on the Gili Rooftop at Taronga Centre recently.

The family wanted a beautiful view to farewell their beloved grandpa, and we couldn't think of a better view than the iconic Sydney Harbour.

If you're interested in knowing more about the venues you might be able to hold a funeral or memorial, you're welcome to call us anytime for an obligation-free conversation.

How to Make a Funeral Unique 💜

A meaningful farewell doesn’t have to look or feel one particular way. At Grace Funerals, every service is shaped around the stories and personality of the person being honoured, because no two lives are the same, and no two funerals should be either.

Our approach is built on listening deeply to families and creating space for heartfelt, personal touches that transform a service into a true reflection of your loved one.
One of the most beautiful ways to personalise a funeral is through storytelling and memories; sharing the quirks, moments, and qualities that made your person unforgettable.

We help our families bring these stories to life through photo stories, favourite flowers, or order of service booklets filled with images, quotes, and special thanks.
Music can also play a powerful role. Whether it’s a playlist of favourite songs or live acoustic music, sound has a way of grounding people in shared emotion and connection.
For something symbolic and serene, you might choose a dove release, or to decorate your loved one’s coffin in drawings by the grandkids, or their favourite footy team logos!

Ultimately, a unique funeral is one that feels authentically them, a space where love, memory, and meaning help us to say goodbye.

Are Funeral Bonds worth it?

Speaking as people who see first-hand the financial consequences that an unexpected death can cause, and as long as you've received individualised advice from a financial advisor, we think so!

If you're interested in learning more about a Funeral Bond, please give us a call and one of our team would be happy to assist.

What Not to Do When Grieving 🤍

Grief isn’t a problem to “fix.” It’s a natural, human response to loving someone deeply. As Dr Alan Wolfelt reminds us, mourning is the outward expression of grief, and when we allow ourselves to express it, healing becomes possible.

Here are a few things not to do when you’re grieving:

❌ Don’t rush yourself. There’s no timeline. You may feel pressure to “be okay” quickly, but grief unfolds at its own pace.

❌ Don’t minimise your feelings. Wolfelt says you must “lean into your grief.” Let the tears, anger, numbness, or confusion come without judgement.

❌ Don’t isolate yourself. Even if you’re someone who withdraws when hurting, connection matters. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or a support service like Grief Australia or Lifeline (13 11 14).

❌ Don’t compare your grief to someone else’s. Your relationship, story, and heart are uniquely yours.

❌ Don’t pretend you’re “strong.” True strength is allowing yourself to mourn in honest, authentic ways.

Grief is love with nowhere to land.

Be gentle with yourself.

Your only job is to keep putting one foot in front of the other, in your own time, in your own way. 🤍

It's easy to forget about our wellbeing when we are dealing with grief; that's where we come in.

Don't forget to stay cool and hydrated on funerals in summer, so you can focus on what's most important.
