Perhaps your person was a member of the local surf lifesaving association or loved the beach and the ocean. In this case, it may be worth considering holding an outside funeral overlooking the ocean, or at the local surf lifesaving club followed by a wake function at the club. Outdoor funerals also bring a deeper connection to nature, which can be part of a healing funeral service.
Was your loved-one part of the local Church community, or did they attend a place of worship or a location that allowed connection with their spirituality? Picaluna honours all faiths and beliefs and can work alongside your family in arranging a funeral that respects the places where solace and comfort can be found, supporting the funeral rites and rituals of your particular doctrine.
For many non-traditional funerals, Picaluna looks to find unique locations that bring meaning to family and friends of that person. Some outdoor funeral locations like local parks can bring great connection to nature and community. Even indoor funeral venues like wedding venues or community halls that may have never hosted a funeral service before can be an inspired choice of funeral venue. Picaluna gains the necessary permissions from the local council or venue hosts, before such events take place.
Picaluna can also advise on the right style of catering company to suit the requirements of your wake celebration.
