How Did Meaningful Memorials Come About?
​
Our Co-Founder Emma, lost one of her best friends tragically at the young age of 30. The Family asked a few of her close friends to assist with planning her service. An unimaginable time for all. They didn't want the classic funeral home service. It wasn't her. Ella was a bright, happy, beautiful young women. They wanted the service to represent the beautiful person she was and life that she lived. Our other Co-Founder, Danielle was contacted to conduct the service. Hand picked due to her kind and nurturing nature. A hard service to deliver, but she knew she wanted to give Ella the sendoff she deserved.
Together Emma & Danielle have now created Meaningful Memorials, A company based on the Mornington Peninsula here to help create unique and special memorial services for those loved ones that a typical funeral service wouldn't do justice.
