Dear Richard and Philip, Thank you so much for what you did to enable this sad event to unfold into a wonderful celebration. All the patience and care will be remembered and we are very happy to share our pleasure with others - Lorraine, Annette, Rob, Jenny, Mike, Ross and Bruce.
Dear Phil, Many thanks for the beautiful ceremony you performed for Kirsten and Sam. You put them at ease and the whole day continued with the good vibe that this lovely couple exuded. You must have put some good words in up above for the perfect afternoon weatherwise too! Thanks again, Bronwyn.
bellarine memories sponsors Point Lonsdale/Queenscliff PROBUS Bowls day
The Point Lonsdale/Queesncliff PROBUS held a very successful bowls day recently and bellarine memories was there to catch up with the action and present the winning envelopes.
A soup and sandwich luncheon raised around $300 for Vision Australia.
On September 1st 2005, bellarine memories opened their new premises in Grubb Road, Ocean Grove.
It was a bold move with a unique concept and they have been able to pursue their dream - working with people to arrange memorable and creative events, be it a birthday, wedding, or funeral. Some of the events have included a 50-years in business celebration, a one-hundredth birthday, naming ceremonies, memorial services, beach weddings, and a surprise re-affirmation of marriage vows.
When we set up this business, we wanted to be able to share various rites of passage with the same family or community. We wished to offer people the opportunity to engage in ceremonies and rites of passage that are good to be a part of, well-constructed, and personal.Testimonials attest to the experiences people have had:
Just a short note to thank you for your service and assistance last week. I was surprised when dad told me some time ago of his decision to change the details of funeral arrangements and I now know why! We were very happy with the ceremonies and your professional and caring service made it much easier for dad especially. Many thanks for your care and attention. Kind Regards, Rob
Thankyou very much for the wonderful help and professionalism. You both made a difficult time a lot easier, and the whole situation smooth and bearable. The day was truly a celebration of mum’s life, and that’s exactly what she wanted. – Linda
P.S. Have been spreading the word about your great service.Thankyou so much for the way you looked after us following Mum’s passing. The service itself was perfect – just what we wanted. Dad was very pleased with the whole day and felt that it was a beautiful service, which was most important for him. – Lesley
Thankyou for all your care and compassion in organizing Mum’s service etc. You managed to turn a family tragedy into a life-affirming event and in doing so made (our) families very grateful. You must get great satisfaction from what you do for people. - Jane
We have continued to work on the belief that there’s no set way, no fixed pattern, except to listen, to be a resource, and to bring our own experiences and insights to the table so that something memorably fitting emerges.

Wedding Plans
A number of couples have called in lately thinking about wedding plans. It's great to see these people and to discuss the many possibilities. From a sunny and sheltered spot on the Ocean Grove foreshore to Oakdene, the Blues Train to Werribee Park, the options are endless and limited by imagination only. White marquees, string quartets and spring days are coming. Call in if you are looking for some inspiration. How do you like your coffee?
The old and the new. In keeping with our fresh and innovative approach to all things, the Honda Odyssey is a discreet and modern hearse. Pictured here at St George's Anglican Church in Queenscliff, the contrast between old and new is striking.
