When choosing a funeral venue, you should consider your individual preferences and the needs of the deceased and their family. We recommend considering factors like:

  • Accessibility: How easy is it for mourners to get to the venue? Is there ample parking available?
  • Religious or cultural requirements: Does the venue cater to any specific religious or cultural needs?
  • Budget: Funerals are extremely expensive and funeral venues can vary in price, so it's important to consider how much you can afford to spend when making a decision.
  • Desired atmosphere: Do you prefer a traditional chapel setting, a natural outdoor environment, or something else entirely?

In Australia, a "funeral reception" or "celebration of life"  traditionally refers to a gathering after a funeral service where mourners pay their respects.  If you are planning one of these solemn events, you might wonder what type of event venue is most appropriate to the occasion. Here are some great venue options for a funeral reception in Melbourne:

  • Restaurants with private rooms offer a comfortable and familiar atmosphere. Ideal for a more intimate gathering or if the deceased enjoyed a particular restaurant's cuisine. 
  • Community Centres are a budget-friendly option with large spaces suitable for larger receptions.  
  • Hotels with conference or banquet rooms can be a good choice, especially if you are accommodating guests from out of town. Costs can vary significantly  from $1,000 to several thousand dollars depending on the hotel, catering options, and location.
  • Botanical gardens or parks with pavilions are a beautiful and natural setting for a celebration of life, especially if the weather permits.
  • Art galleries or museums are an elegant setting for a reception, especially if the deceased had an appreciation for art or culture.

The inclusions in the rental price will vary depending on the type of venue you choose. We can help you understand some typical inclusions and what might come at an extra cost:

  • Restaurants might include tables and chairs, some might have basic AV equipment.
  • Community centers might offer basic furniture (chairs, tables) but minimal else.
  • Hotels might provide a more comprehensive package with tables, chairs, AV equipment, and even basic catering options (depending on how you negotiate your hire).

The following may also incur extra charges: catering, AV equipment, staffing, extending your session, and potentially additional furniture rentals depending on the venue.
