The Last Hurrah Funerals

The Last Hurrah hold no specific ethos in regard to how the dead should be farewelled; instead their primary aim is to support those who are grieving to farewell their kith and kin in a way that is meaningful to them, and to create funerals and rites that truly and authentically reflect the person who has died. From home vigils, funerals at the pub, cardboard caskets and drive-by funerals, the Last Hurrah have been termed ‘death disruptors’ a nod to their innovative approach.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
