Unique Funeral Ideas


Display Pictures or Canvas Prints.


Display framed pictures at the service. Ocean Funeral (Gold Coast Only) Final Words Pre-Recorded Video


Video/ Slideshow Tribute. Have a picture DVD created to play at the service. It can be set to favourite music or traditional hymns.


Participation from Family & Friends. Ask friends or family members to participate in the service. They could read a favourite scripture passage, quote, or poem of your loved one. Another idea is to read something your loved one wrote that embodies who he or she was.


Musicians. Arrange for special musicians such as a bagpipe player, harpist, pianist, violinist, organist, or vocalist.


Military Honours. If your loved one served in the armed forces, arrange for military honours and present a military flag. Consider involving the RSL to participate in a Poppy ceremony.


Unique Processional. Plan a special route to the church, crematorium or cemetery (stop by an old home, school, or park). If your loved one was a fire-fighter, police officer or other type of serviceman or woman, have the funeral procession led by the respective vehicle.
