Personalising a Free Thinker farewell
A Free Thinker funeral has no fixed rites, so the farewell can centre on the person. Families we serve often choose eulogies, favourite music, photographs and a memorial table of personal belongings and achievements. Some families with mixed beliefs also include elements from more than one tradition, so that every family member feels respected.
A Star Wars send-off
One farewell we arranged had a Star Wars theme: a group of the deceased's friends came dressed as characters from the films to give their friend a final send-off. It was one of a kind, and a reminder that a farewell can reflect the person as much as the occasion.
Customised memorial tables, door gifts for visitors and activities such as writing notes are available as add-ons. For ideas and how we plan the service, see our Free Thinker funeral services guide.
What happens when you call us
Call or WhatsApp us, any time. A funeral director explains the next steps and what needs deciding today.
We collect your loved one from the hospital, home or mortuary, and guide you on the death certificate.
We agree the arrangements: venue, number of days, casket and personal touches, and give you an itemised quotation.
We set up the wake and look after the details while your family receives visitors.
On the funeral day, we handle the hearse, coach, pallbearers and cremation, and the ash collection afterwards.
If paying in full up front is difficult, ask us about an instalment plan, set out in a written agreement before services begin.

Is a shorter void deck wake cheaper?
No. The $4,360 nett void deck price is a minimum rate that applies whether the wake runs one, two or three days. For a one-day wake, a funeral parlour is usually the lower-cost choice; ask us for a customised quote.
