The Process

At Farewell Catering, we understand that planning a funeral is an emotional and often overwhelming time. Our process is designed to gently support you every step of the way.

Get in Touch

Reach out via our online enquiry form or give us a call on 0404 139 040. Within 24 hours, our founder will personally respond and begin by understanding who has passed away and how we can help. We’ll then discuss the service details, such as the date, time, and whether catering will take place at a Church venue or a private residence.

Planning

We’ll propose a thoughtful catering menu that suits your preferences, dietary needs, and guest numbers. We’ll also talk through staffing needs and any required equipment hire. Once confirmed, we take care of the rest and will liaise directly with the venue or Church to ensure smooth access and setup.

On the Day

On the day, our professional and highly experienced staff arrive early to quietly set up, ensuring everything is in place and beautifully presented before guests arrive. We handle every detail from service to pack down, so you can focus on remembering your loved one without distraction.

“Thank you to Farewell catering for the professional and caring manner with which they managed the gathering after a recent family funeral. Colleen was efficient and thoughtful during the planning stage and the event was seamless with minimal input from me. The food was beautifully presented. I highly recommend.”
Mary Barbeler

“My family have used Farewell Catering for the "wake" of both my parents and Colleen did a wonderful job on both occasions. She was very understanding and from chatting to our family was able to advise the amount of food needed perfectly. The food, presentation and staff were amazing and after mum's wake, dad left instructions that we were to use Farewell Catering for him!”

“Colleen and her staff prepared and served delicious finger food for my mothers wake/life-celebration. Farewell Caterings' professionalism, attention to detail, quality, presentation and delicious taste was perfect. All was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to not have a care in the world. From the initial inquiry, to set up and clean up, Farewell made our celebration at this sad and stressful time effortless and a pleasure. Thank you!”
Shar Richards

“Colleen was warm and easy to deal with on both occasions. She was always available to talk about the event and respectful of the situation. Her depth of experience was invaluable in making the right decisions regarding the event, numbers and catering choices. The options available were varied and interesting. Knowing the food had been prepared personally by Colleen was very pleasing. Her staff was efficient and professional. They worked cleanly and well with the resources available in different kitchens and dealt with management of the church easily. I thoroughly recommend Farewell Catering and will confidently choose them for any catering in the future.”
