Today, we honour and celebrate all mothers and mother figures in our community: mums, grandmothers, stepmums, foster mums, carers, those longing to be mothers, and those carrying the memory of a mum no longer with us.

Mother’s Day can bring joy, gratitude, reflection, and for many, grief. We know that the “firsts” after loss are often the hardest; the first Mother’s Day without Mum, the first as a family navigating loss, or the first year carrying a different kind of silence.

To anyone finding today difficult, please know you are not alone. We hold space for your memories, your love, and your grief.

From all of us at Portland Funeral Services, we wish every kind of mother a gentle and meaningful Mother’s Day. ❤️

Today, we pause to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice and service of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served our country.
On this Anzac Day, we reflect on the bravery of those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today, and we acknowledge the families who carried their absence and their loss.
Lest we forget.

Planning ahead is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones.

Having a valid Will and appointing an Executor can make a difficult time a little easier when funeral arrangements need to be made.

- Clearly records your wishes
- Helps avoid family confusion or disagreements
- Gives someone trusted the authority to act on your behalf
- Makes funeral arrangements smoother and less stressful
- Provides peace of mind for those left behind

During times of grief, clear guidance can make all the difference.

If you’ve been putting it off, now may be the right time to have those important conversations and get your affairs in order.
