Ceremony (or not)
As both the funeral celebrant & ceremony creator, my purpose is to guide you in crafting a farewell that is profoundly meaningful and authentically yours. We will co-create a ceremony (be it a funeral, living wake, or memorial) that truly reflects the life and wishes of you and your loved ones.
No ceremony? No worries. A comfortable and elegant hearse will provide direct passage to the crematorium or local cemetery for the final journey.
Costs depend on your unique needs and will vary depending on the level of involvement from The Departure you require. The following packages are available:
Package 1 - No-Fuss Option: No formal ceremony. Includes after death paperwork, transportation for direct cremation or burial.
Package 2 - Personalised Farewell: A bespoke funeral - anywhere, any style. Includes after death paperwork, transportation to crematorium or burial site.
Package 3 - Living Wake: A joyful, creative gathering before death. Includes after death paperwork, transportation to crematorium or burial site (post-party or a later date).
Package 4 - Memorial Service: A gathering to remember, held at a later date. No transportation or immediate burial/cremation included.
Estimated costs range between $4000-$12,000
