Venue questions families often ask.

Yes. We coordinate catering and post-service refreshments tailored to your family’s needs. Whether hosting light refreshments in an adjacent venue hall, arranging catering at a regional chapel (such as the function room at Geelong Memorial Park), or setting up a gathering at a local community venue, our team handles all food, beverage, and host logistics so you don’t have to carry the burden.

All of our primary chapel and venue options feature high-definition screens for visual photo slideshows, sound systems for music, and live-streaming capabilities. We provide a private, secure web link before the service so family and friends interstate or overseas can watch live or view the recording later.

We believe in complete price transparency with no hidden costs. If you choose a third-party or cemetery venue (such as Geelong Memorial Park), the venue hire fee is billed as an exact, itemised disbursement cost. We provide clear, itemised quotes upfront so there are never any surprises.

Absolutely. While we offer our East Geelong chapels and grounds, four generations of local experience mean we regularly direct services at parish churches, cemetery chapels, surf lifesaving clubs, wineries, and private family gardens across Greater Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. We manage all venue permits, sound equipment, seating, and florist logistics on your behalf.

Matching the venue to your crowd size ensures the service feels warm and comforting. We offer options ranging from our East Geelong Small Chapel or Geelong Memorial Park Chapel (up to 80 seated), to the East Geelong Uniting Chapel (120+ seated), up to full-capacity venues like the Uniting Hall (170+ seated) or Waurn Ponds Community Chapel (250 seated).

Yes. Accessibility and guest comfort are priorities for every venue we recommend. Our East Geelong chapels, Waurn Ponds Chapel, and Geelong Memorial Park all feature ground-floor, step-free access, accessible amenities, and nearby parking or drop-off zones right at the main doors.
