For this month’s Meet the Team, we are proud to introduce Iain, a Funeral Arranger at our Hastings branch.

Iain grew up on the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas and brings more than 25 years of experience in customer service to his role. After many years of working closely with people from all walks of life, he felt it was time for a meaningful career change that would allow him to continue supporting, guiding and honouring members of his community during some of life’s most important moments. With a legacy of over 160 years of service, Allison Monkhouse was the perfect place for Iain to continue that commitment to care and compassion.
Outside of work, Iain enjoys creating new adventures with his family. He is passionate about freshwater fishing, gardening and exploring history, interests that reflect his appreciation for patience, growth and the stories that connect communities.

Meet the team ✨ This year, we’re introducing the faces behind Allison Monkhouse, starting with our amazing Brand Manager, Adam!

Adam has worked in the funeral industry for over 25 years, including roles as a Funeral Supervisor at both Springvale Botanical Cemetery and Bunurong Memorial Park, and more recently as Brand Manager at Rosebud Funerals. A highlight of this time was receiving the Chairman’s Award in 2018 for consistently displaying organisational values. His experience has been shaped by working in environments that serve many cultures and religious backgrounds. Through this, Adam has developed diverse skills to accommodate a wide range of situations, always guided by compassion and understanding.

Guiding families through the arrangement of a funeral is deeply meaningful work for Adam. Knowing he is making a difference at such a difficult time, and caring for their loved one, is a true privilege and honour. Hearing people’s life stories offers a small glimpse into who they were and is something he never takes for granted.
Working at Allison Monkhouse is a constant reminder to Adam of how fragile life can be and the importance of appreciating each day. While aspects of the role can be challenging, there is immense satisfaction in helping families through their grief and supporting them during loss.

Adam loves this profession. It has taught him many valuable lessons, and he is grateful every day to work alongside a team that shares the same values. The team at Allison Monkhouse is dedicated to guiding and comforting those who are grieving, and to Adam, this is one of the purest and most meaningful gifts a person can receive.

To speak with Adam or any member of the Allison Monkhouse team, please call 9546 5870. 🧡

We had the greatest honour of gifting local legend Police veteran former Sergeant Ivan George "Bill" Warner OAM a bright royal blue Ever Rose to celebrate his 100th Birthday.✨🎂 💙🌹🫶🏻✨

The room was filled with awe as everyone attentively listened to all the amazing speeches commemorating Bill on his incredible career achievements, brief life history and for reaching a lifetime milestone. The level of astute Bill displayed during his speeches was nothing short of amazing as family, friends and special guests from parliament along with Channel 7 news were left impressed and inspired. A true legacy built upon multiple decades of devotion to the community,

Bill was named a Living Treasure to the City of Greater Dandenong for all his incredible civic and voluntary service to the community and has a reserved named after him "The Warner Reserve" in Furnew Street, Springvale. In Bill's early life, he studied as an engineer and eventually joined Victoria Police at the age of 25 in 1951. With a colourful career paired with his lived experience working in the community, he gained insight and wisdom which lead him to serve for 33 years in the force. In 1971 he received the Queen's Police Medal and Bill retired in 1983, recognized for his leadership & devotion towards the community by receiving the Chief Commissioner's Certificate for sustained, outstanding and loyal service.

Outside of his career, he was elected a councillor for the City of Springvale in 1969 and was mayor three times in 1972, 1975 and 1981. Renowned for his youth work and awarded for Distinguished Service to the Scout Movement in 1984, the same year he received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to local government and the community. In 1993, Bill was named Citizen of the Year for his extensive service to Springvale (now Greater Dandenong) and in 2001 Bill was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation during the International Year of Volunteers. Bill is the only living recipient of Freemasons Victoria Hall of Fame, he founded 11 different Masonic Lodges and served as Worshipful Master of Spring Vale Lodge 389 for 2 years and received his 75th year jewel in 2024.

These honourary mentions are only a small percentage of a very long list of lifetime achievements. Bill's profound impact and charitable nature continues to inspire all the different community networks that he has graced.

A big shout out to police veteran Alan Salter, CEO of Police Veterans Victoria Debra Richardson and Carla Deale for organising a wonderful ceremony and morning tea to honour a very special local living legend.

Happy 100th Birthday Bill!

We had almost 200 people gathered at the Boyd Chapel in Springvale Botanical Cemetery to farewell the late Mr Robert "Rob" Gasparroni.

A customised Coles truck joined us on the day named "Rob G" to commemorate his legacy along with many of his colleagues both in uniform & off duty to join all his family, friends and loved ones.

Rob was a man who served his people and left an unforgettable mark on the entire community.
With well over a decade of service to Coles as a delivery specialist, he made sure all his customers were looked after.

Special mention to one of our celebrants Anne Edwards who lead the service with her presence & comforting voice.

At Allison Monkhouse, we take great pride in serving those who service the community.

The opening of the new foyer isn’t just a renovation - it’s an invitation.

A space of hospitality, warmth, and connection.

A place where people can feel a sense of belonging from the moment they walk in.
I truly believe this new foyer will open doors - literally and spiritually - for more people to encounter community, comfort, and faith.

On Sunday, we had the real joy and honour of representing Allison Monkhouse Funerals - and also simply being there as someone whose heart has always been deeply connected to St John Vianney’s Church.

This parish was such a big part of my life growing up. I was blessed to be part of the youth group there, surrounded by community, friendship, and faith that helped shape the person I am today. For many years I also volunteered with Rosies, supporting those experiencing homelessness. Those experiences taught me what this parish continues to live so beautifully: compassion, welcome, and Christ’s love in action.
That’s why Sunday felt especially meaningful.
On behalf of my colleagues, and from my own heart, congratulations on this wonderful milestone.
