Memorial funeral services in Sydney

A memorial that celebrates
a life, in your own time

A memorial service is a gathering to remember and celebrate someone, held when and where it feels right for your family. There is no set form, only what suits the person you are honouring.

What is a memorial service?

A memorial service is a farewell held without your loved one present, often after a cremation or a private farewell. Because it is not tied to the day of the funeral, you have the freedom to choose the time, the place and the tone, whether that is a quiet gathering, a service, or a warm celebration of a life well lived.

‍

It is a wonderful choice for families who want to bring people together, or who chose a simple, private cremation and would still like a moment to gather and remember.

‍

A gathering held in your own time, once the rush has passed.

A celebration of life shaped around the person.

Held anywhere meaningful: our chapel, a home, a club, a garden.

One of the most personal farewells there is

Some families hold their memorial at our chapel, others in a garden, a club, or a place their loved one loved. We help you plan the readings, the music, the photographs and the moments that bring a life back into the room.

If you would like to include the scattering of ashes or a lasting keepsake, we can help you arrange that too.

Answers to our most, common questions

What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?
arro icon

A funeral is held with your loved one present, usually soon after they pass. A memorial is held without them present, often later, which gives your family freedom to choose the time, place and style.

When can we hold a memorial?
arro icon

Whenever feels right. Because a memorial is not tied to the funeral itself, there is no rush. Some families gather within weeks, others after months.

Can we include the scattering of ashes?
arro icon

Yes. Many families include a scattering or a keepsake as part of the memorial, and we can help you arrange it.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve families across Penrith, Riverwood, the Blue Mountains and the wider Western Sydney region.
