Candour Funerals

05/05/2026

Yesterday’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea was everything we hoped it would be 💚🫖💚🫖💚

A beautiful morning spent junk journalling with
Sharing Devonshire Tea, warm conversations and genuine connection with such a wonderful group of people.

We’re also so proud to share that Candour is dollar matching every donation made — meaning together we’ve now raised over $1,000 for cancer research in support of Cancer Council Australia.

Thank you to everyone who came along, donated, shared stories and helped make the morning so special ✨

As we move through this quieter Easter period, we’ve been taking a moment to pause and reflect.

Recently, we gathered with many of the people who have helped shape Candour’s first year. To build something with care, courage, and intention requires more than an idea — it asks for trust, generosity, encouragement, and the steady support of a community.

In the fullness of day to day work, reflection can so easily be set aside. This evening reminded us of the value in stopping, looking back, and properly acknowledging the people who have walked alongside us.

It was a chance to honour that support, and to reflect on the kind of funeral care we are continuing to build — thoughtful, transparent, deeply personal, and grounded in genuine human connection.

We’ve shared a reflection on this special evening in our latest blog.

A night that brought together our community — and offered a glimpse into what a funeral can truly feel like.

As we head into the festive season, we’ve taken a moment to pause and reflect on Candour’s first full year.

It’s been a year of learning, community, courage, and deep privilege — walking alongside families at some of life’s most difficult moments, while building something we truly believe in.

We’re proud of what we’ve created, grateful for the families who’ve trusted us, and thankful for everyone who’s been part of this journey so far.

If you feel called to pause and reflect too, we hope this resonates 🤍

As the festive season arrives, we’re pausing to reflect on our first full year of Candour — to acknowledge what’s unfolded, honour those we’ve lost, and thank the community who has helped shape this new era of funeral care.

What a wonderful morning! 💫

Today’s Candour Connects Christmas Wreath Workshop with the lovely Debbie filled our space with laughter, creativity and connection. 🎄

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a joyful morning. 💛
