Facilities in our Kew East funeral home

State of the art modern facilities at our funeral home in Kew East include:

• A welcoming reception and foyer area which includes a multi-purpose water feature. This can be used as a base for a sculpture, coffin or as a standalone feature.
• Bespoke modern artwork. The sculpture which is currently placed on top of the water feature was designed specifically for our funeral home by multi-award winning Shoso. The form is inspired by the magnolia flower which in some cultures signifies an enduring true love that lasts throughout time and space. Based on the Ikebana aesthetics, this sculpture shows the different stages of an opening flower. As the viewer walks around, the flower may slowly open before their eyes.
  Shoso also created an artwork of floating petals which is displayed in our foyer area. The work represents flower petals floating on running water and is one of the most highly admired poetic images in Japanese culture. It signifies both the transience of our existence and the eternal cycle of nature, our spirituality.
• A beautifully renovated on-site chapel which is drenched in natural sunlight that streams through the floor to ceiling windows. It comfortably seats 114 guests, with additional standing room available. Guests can also join from the reflection lounge which has a TV screen for the service to be projected onto in real time.
• A light-filled reflection lounge with catering available. Dining tables, cocktail tables, lounge seating and a bar area are available to provide a comfortable atmosphere, not only for after funeral gatherings but any kind of celebration such as birthdays and anniversaries.
