A ceremony to honour their life, in your own time.
A memorial service is held after the cremation or The Gentle Way, usually with your loved one’s ashes present — giving your family the freedom to choose when, and where, you say goodbye.
Just as meaningful, with more flexibility.
Because there’s no coffin present, a memorial service gives your family more time to gather — especially when loved ones need to travel from afar — and more freedom to choose a place that feels right.
We take care of every step.
Into our care
We gently bring your loved one into our care at Townsville Funerals, Cremations & Crematorium.
Cremation or The Gentle Way
Your loved one is cremated by flame, or through The Gentle Way, using water.
Ready for the service
The ashes are placed in a timber urn cover, or an urn of your choosing (the chosen urn is an additional cost).
The memorial
On the day, everything is set up and waiting in our chapel or your chosen venue before you and your guests arrive.
Returned to you
Afterwards, the ashes are returned to you in the interment urn, or the urn you chose for the service.
Everything brought together for you.
Our team will piece together the details that make a memorial service truly personal — and we’ll do our best to accommodate any special request.
Photo tributes
A slideshow or video of their life, shown on the screens in our chapel.
Service booklets
Order of service booklets with photos, poems and favourite words — designed in-house.
Music
The songs they loved, played through our sound system or performed live.
Flowers
Floral tributes to suit their personality, arranged with local florists.
Newspaper notices
We can place notices so friends and the community know where and when to gather.
Special requests
Something a little different in mind? Just ask — we’ll always try to make it happen.
Our chapel, or a place that meant something to them.
A memorial service can be held in our chapel at 3 Railway Avenue, Railway Estate, in another chapel or church of your choosing, or somewhere special — a favourite park, your backyard, or even the beach.
Wherever you choose, we’ll have everything ready before you arrive.
- Our chapel
- Your church
- A special place
Choose an urn that feels like them.
Your loved one’s ashes can be presented at the service in a timber urn cover, or in an urn you choose from our range — along with keepsakes so the whole family can keep a part of them close.
