Wakes and memorial gatherings, planned around your family

- Setup, supplier scheduling and pack-down coordination.

Chauffeur services and guest transport
Chauffeur services can be discussed for family members and guests travelling to or from the gathering. Tell Paul the pickup and destination addresses, date, times, number of passengers and any mobility or accessibility requirements. Vehicle suitability, availability, who will provide the service and the price are confirmed before a booking is made.
One point of contact, with clear choices
Paul coordinates the agreed scope and keeps you informed. Catering, venue hire, transport, flowers, staffing and other outside services are discussed and approved separately before costs are committed. No standard package is assumed: the plan is tailored to the occasion and your budget.
Other adult gatherings
Adult celebrations, private dinners, club functions and business events are also welcome by arrangement. The focus is on adult gatherings; weddings and children’s parties are not offered.
Practical help beyond the gathering
If you are also managing a loved one’s property, explore our deceased estate clearance service. We can discuss sorting, donation and removal coordination, cleaning and preparation of the home, with approval before belongings are sold, donated or removed.
Based in Sandringham, serving Bayside, south-eastern Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Regional Victoria enquiries are welcome.
Talk through the next step
