Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. – Gloria Steinem
Events coming up.
Get Ready..... It will be bigger and better than last year.
Reservations will open by the end of June. But, put it in your calander now.
May is a busy month in Cornerstone Funeral Events.
First is Mother's Day Hamper Raffle as a huge thank you to our mums. To enter the draw, book a Pre-Arrangement Funeral Plan and take the stress out of your loved ones remembering all your favourite things to make your farewell memorable. It's definitely one way to ensure you make the last get-together a good one, from a simple, understated affair to the best party on the block. We can help you plan and record your wishes, from songs and flowers to who gets to say what, or none of these things. You choose, we do, they have the space to remember and celebrate.

The other is our next Honouring Life High Tea with donations raised are going towards MND Queensland and Meals on Wheels Queensland. This is open to anyone who wants to learn more about resources, supports, and services in the community to help you or your loved one stay at home for longer. The legal, financial, and other often-forgotten (or even ignored) aspects of ensuring your wishes and commitments are protected while navigating the end-of-life stage. Take control of things before it becomes too late, making space for you to enjoy the moments all the more.
Secure your seat at the High Tea table. Come with an empty tummy because Beth always spoils us with her treats.

Honouring Life Morning Teas
These gatherings are an opportunity to hear about options available to those preparing to or are navigating the end-of-life phase.
This High Tea is an indulgent experience of decadent treats, service providers sharing information, and meeting others going through similar experiences.
It is a relaxed occasion, spoiling and time out for you.
Attending Organisations.
Sureplan Friendly Society to inform how Sureplan bonds work and provide peace of mind about paying for a funeral without interfering with pension assessments.
A representative from the Motor Neurone Foundation. This foundation is the receiving foundation for the Honouring Life Morning Tea donations and is close to Beth's heart. While you may not have MND, hearing how donations significantly impact organisations not funded by the Government.
Evie's Celebrancy Service. Evie is a bright, bubbly celebrant who also holds workshops on how to write your Eurology - the story to remember and how you want to be remembered. She is a real treat and as real as they get.
Home Instead provides services to help you stay will in your home longer, and well. It aligns with our Honouring Life mission to support people to learn how to live well in the end-of-life phase. More so in the planning phase, you can make informed choices before they are needed and reduce stress when needed.
Wellways, is another organisation aligned with our mission. Their focus is on mental health and supporting the carer, providing one of the biggest and hardest roles they will ever need to give.
