As we approach the Easter period, Taylor'd Funerals would like to send love and strength to our families who will be hoping that the Easter Bunny makes a special delivery to a special someone in heaven.

Dear Mr Easter Bunny,

I just had to write today...
To see if you stop in Heaven...
As you hop along your way?

You see...a part of me is up there...
That I miss with all my heart...
You see...my brother lost his battle...
With a disease that tore our lives apart.

So, I wanted to know if you go there???
And if I could ask a favor of you?
Can you take him a basket to heaven?
Filled with colored eggs and bunnies too?

And could you please add a green egg for me?
Mom says green means new life and rest,
For my brother is now resting in heaven...
No more pain and no more tests.

And could you also add an orange egg for me?
Orange for the color of a candles flame, For my brothers little light will always shine...
Although our lives will never be the same.

And could you add an egg so blue?
For blue is the color of a cloudless sky, And when I see the geese flying over me...
I know its a sign...from him way up high.

And we cant forget a yellow egg too...
For yellow is the color of the rising sun, And my brothers love will shine down on me...
For all my days and nights to come.

And we also need a rainbow colored egg...
For the rainbow way up high in the sky,
For Mom says he will always live within me...
And his spirit will never die.

And last but not least a red egg if you could?
For we all know red means the color of love, And I love my brother oh so much...
Please send my love to him above.

Thank you Mr Easter Bunny...
I really appreciate your time today...
And I will say a prayer for you too...
As you hop to Heaven for me on Easter day.

When you take his basket up to the Heavens...
Can you please whisper in his ear?
And wish him the happiest Easter From me...
For I miss him more with each passing year.

Healesville, VIC you were memorable for so many beautiful reasons.

Going the extra mile is never a task—it’s a privilege.

Yesterday, we had the honour of accompanying a gentleman on his final journey across state lines to his place of rest. Surrounded by an intimate gathering of family and friends, his burial was a beautiful and meaningful farewell.

Having spent time getting to know him, it was truly special for our team to be entrusted with this final chapter. To walk alongside someone and their family in this way is a responsibility we never take lightly.

Every life deserves to be honoured with care, dignity, and heart—no matter the distance.

Today on what is World Autism Awareness Day we celebrate our star employee Jack.

Jack is a young man of many talents and has become an integral part of our team.

Jack we are so lucky to have you work with us and our families. You are a wonderful role model for other young people who are living with Autism and you prove everyday that if you give everything you try 100% then anything is possible.

For those of you who haven't yet had the privilege of doing life with someone who has Autism I encourage you to educate yourself more and discover what you are missing out on.

Happy Autism Awareness Day! 💚💛❤️💙💜

Embrace uniqueness this Autism Day and let's unite throughout April to raise awareness, shatter stereotypes, and foster inclusivity!

April is Autism Awareness Month.

For many years I have been privileged to spend quality time with hundreds of children and young adults who have challenged me, taught me and inspired me. Many of their journeys are tough but at the same time they are compelling and will stay with me for a lifetime.

Autism presents differently for every person diagnosed. It’s a ‘spectrum’ of experience, with many wonderful, and often challenging, ‘shades’ for the people living with it and those who love them.

As a community let's be more committed to raising awareness and understanding of all types of autism.

Yesterday at Macarthur Memorial Park we paused to reflect on the life of Allan — a man who meant so much to so many. He was a loving husband, a proud father, a cherished grandfather and great-grandfather, and a loyal friend. A true family man who found joy in the simple but meaningful things in life — gathering the people he loved, fishing, his beloved Bunnies, and a Tooheys Old.

Allan's coffin was adorned with his Bunnies jerseys of old and new and a lone piper could be heard across the natural landscape that surrounds the beautiful chapel.

John, affectionately known as Noddy and Pop, was a much-loved character whose presence left a lasting impression on all who knew him. A proud man who served Australia, John was devoted to his family and was an incredible husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

He held a deep love for the Australian flag, so it was only fitting that, in lieu of flowers, his family placed small Australian flags during a quiet time of reflection — a simple yet powerful tribute to the man he was.

John’s service was held yesterday at Macarthur Memorial Park. Tomorrow, we have the honour of accompanying him on his final journey to Healesville, Victoria, where he will be laid to rest and reunited with his much-loved Margaret.

Just a reminder to let us know if you can make it

Our next Grief Circle is on the Thursday 9 April at 6pm and all are welcome to attend, including children.

We are trying something different this month by enjoying a meal together at Gregory Hills Hotel, Gregory Hills Drive, Gregory Hills.

Our monthly Grief Circles offer an opportunity for individuals to gather in a safe, supportive space to share their experiences with loss and grief. The focus is on providing a space for open and honest sharing, deep listening, and mutual support, rather than just offering advice or fixing.

Those who join us will be able to share their stories, or simply listen, and find connection with others who understand their pain.

For the purpose of booking a table/s we ask that you register your attendance by using the link below
