The best way to say goodbye is just the way they would have wanted.

Lucy's greatest passion was playing her violin

So when she died, we arranged for her band to play at her funeral. A spotlight marked her usual place, so she could be part of one last performance and take her final bow.

At Somerville Funerals, we’ll make sure your loved one is remembered for what made them memorable. Whether you choose to celebrate their life with their favourite musical instrument, a special venue, or something totally unique to them, we can help you plan a service that’s just the way they would have wanted.

Find a funeral home

One of a kind. Not one-size-fits-all.

Every funeral service should be as unique as the person being remembered. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to funeral planning. Our expert funeral directors are here to guide you. We'll offer you a range of options to personalise your loved one's funeral and help you create a service that’s a true reflection of their life.

Some options could be:

A special venue

that reflects the person's life, like a golf club, garden, beach, or the backyard at home.

A unique theme

that pays tribute to their love of music, sports, hobbies or military honours.

Choosing a custom coffin

or decorating one with grandchildren’s hand prints, special messages or artwork.

Involving family members

or friends or pets in the service.

Livestreaming the funeral

for family and friends interstate or overseas.

We were so beautifully looked after! We felt that Alexa really cared about our feelings and went out of her way to help make our Mum's funeral just perfect for us. Thank you so much!!
