Sometimes, loss leaves us struggling to make sense of what has happened.

When a death is sudden or traumatic, grief can feel especially overwhelming. There may be shock, numbness, confusion or exhaustion, and everyone’s experience is different.

Our “Grief and Trauma” blog explores these responses and the importance of finding support where you feel heard and understood.

If this speaks to you, or someone you love, you can read the blog here:

You don’t have to find your way through it alone.

MENU SPOTLIGHT: Beef sausage rolls with tomato relish ✨

Golden, flaky pastry, a savoury beef filling and tomato relish on the side. Sometimes, a familiar favourite is just what’s needed.

Our beef sausage rolls are the perfect size, making them an easy-to-enjoy option for guests as they gather, catch up and share memories at a wake.

Wakes are not just about saying goodbye. They’re also a chance to celebrate the beautiful life of your loved one. 🤍

To tell the stories that deserve another telling.
To raise a glass to their adventures.
To remember their quirks, their kindness and the things that made them so wonderfully themselves.

There can be tears, laughter and quiet moments, all in the same gathering. There’s no expectation to feel a certain way.

At Heavenly Catering, we take care of the food, serving and clean-up so you can spend time with the people who knew and loved them.

Whether you choose a relaxed afternoon at home or a gathering at a favourite venue, we’ll help you create a farewell that feels personal.

Could their favourite dessert be the sweetest way to honour them? 🍰🤍

Perhaps it was a pavlova at every family Christmas, apple crumble served with plenty of custard, or the chocolate cake they could never resist.

Including their favourite dessert at a wake can bring back memories and give guests something personal to talk about. “Remember how they always went back for seconds?”

At Heavenly Catering, we love helping families include these thoughtful touches. Let us know what your loved one enjoyed, and we can explore how to make it part of their farewell.

What sweet treat will always remind you of someone special?

At funerals and wakes, sometimes a song says what we struggle to put into words. 🤍

In the Season 4 Ted Lasso finale, aired this week, twin sisters Niamh and Siobhan Harrigan perform “The Parting Glass” at a wake gathering at the Crown & Anchor hotel, following the funeral of a beloved character (no spoilers here!).

Often sung at Irish wakes, this traditional farewell song holds space for sadness, gratitude and the love that remains. It captures something we see so often at wakes: tears and laughter sharing the same room. And after this moving performance in Ted Lasso, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear “The Parting Glass” at many more farewells.

A familiar melody. A favourite dish. A story that has everyone smiling. These personal touches help us remember someone as they were, and celebrate what they meant to us.

Is there a song that will always remind you of someone you love? 🎶

“Karin was very flexible in catering to all the different dietary requirements. The food was amazing and no one went home hungry.

“I can highly recommend Karin and her team for any event.”

Thank you so much, Helen. It was a privilege for the team and I to support you and your family at such a meaningful time. I’m truly glad the food and care we provided helped ease the day a little. Your kind words mean a great deal to us.

Warmly,

What if one of the greatest gifts you could leave your family was the chance to farewell you exactly as you wished?

Long before her death, Robyn Friend had written her own eulogy and carefully planned a deeply personal celebration of her life.

When more than 600 people gathered to farewell her, Karin and Heavenly Catering stepped in to manage the catering, equipment and many practical details, allowing Robyn’s family to concentrate on celebrating the remarkable woman they loved.

Read Robyn’s story and discover how thoughtful planning, personal touches and the right support created an extraordinary farewell:

What dish reminds you of your loved one? 🤍

Perhaps it’s Mum’s sponge cake, Dad’s Sunday roast or a family recipe handwritten and passed down through generations.

A familiar taste or smell can bring back memories of time spent together, meals shared and the people we miss.

At Heavenly Catering, we love to personalise wakes by including your loved one’s favourite foods, creating a meaningful connection to their life and the memories you share.

Was their favourite something sweet, something savoury or a treasured family recipe?

Share your choice in the comments. If you feel comfortable, we’d love to hear the memory behind it, too.

Sometimes, the most meaningful menu is simply food that makes everyone feel welcome.

For Joan’s farewell at Bilgola Surf Club, that meant ch*****ne, plenty of finger food and delicious desserts, served with warmth and care.

Before planning the menu, Karin asked Joan’s daughter Jen whether there were any favourite foods the family wanted included. Joan wasn’t a big foodie, but she loved making people happy. Her family wanted guests to feel comfortable and enjoy what was served.

As Jen recalled: “Mum would have just liked to make people happy. She would prefer the majority of people to feel comfortable and eat what they enjoy so Karin served lots of yummy finger foods that were easy to eat, followed by delicious desserts.”

After the ceremony, family and friends raised their ch*****ne glasses for a heartfelt “cheers” to Joan. With food that was easy to enjoy while mingling, there was time to share memories and be together.

And the care extended beyond the menu.
“At every stage of the day the wait staff were checking I was okay. Karin hires the right kind of people; people who are genuine and caring, always going above and beyond.”

At Heavenly Catering, we know that looking after your guests also means looking after you.

Did you know you can combine a wake with an ash-scattering ceremony?

For someone who felt most at home near the ocean, bringing family and friends together by the water can create a deeply personal and meaningful farewell.

Share stories, music, food and quiet moments of reflection before scattering their ashes at sea, all within one thoughtfully planned gathering.
It can be especially fitting for sailors, surfers, swimmers, fishermen and anyone whose happiest memories were made by the water.

Funerals by Design can help you create a relaxed, personal ceremony that honours their connection to the sea and reflects the life they lived.

There are no rules about how a farewell should look. Go your own way.
