Who We Are

Picaluna offers genuine, personal funerals, helping community to honour, mourn, celebrate, heal & rejuvenate.

We assist families and communities to create a beautiful ceremony, understand the person, telling the story and quality of their life. Bringing experience, our approach is authentic, transparent and compassionate.

We change the way funerals are done for the better

The Picaluna approach is authentic and compassionate, and is underpinned by 100% price transparency, plus the donation of 10% of our profits to a charity of your choice.

There are so many ways to pay tribute to someone you’ve lost. At Picaluna, we give you the freedom, guidance and time you need to explore the different ways you can pay tribute to someone you’ve lost.

A funeral doesn’t have to follow a formula. We work with families to create personal farewells of all shapes and sizes – on the beach, in a garden, at home, at the golf club, at your local surf club, at your church or at the crematorium chapel – whatever location feels right for your family.

Our celebrants and funeral arrangers will provide support to ease the process, spend time with you gathering stories, to create a farewell that’s personal and meaningful.

*****

Empowering families to create a warm, authentic and personal funeral is something Kathryn is dedicated to and feels passionate about.  The responsibility of planning the ceremony can be a daunting process, particularly when there are high emotions of grief, shock and vulnerability.

There are many decisions to be made at this time and, often, families feel under pressure or obligated to have the funeral within a few days.  Take your time, there is no rush:  it is a far healthier outcome when you are supported in creating an authentic ceremony that is truly reflective of your loved one.  Kathryn will guide you through all the available choices and possibilities, and liaise with you throughout the whole process.

Traditionally you may be encouraged to hold the ceremony at a crematorium’s chapel or funeral home; however, you may like to consider a more personal location that reflects your loved one’s lifestyle or hobby.  Ceremonies can be performed at a local park or beach (with council approval) or you may like to hire a community hall, golf club or have the funeral at home.  There is no right or wrong – just whatever feels genuine.

Kathryn works closely with family members to hear stories and memories to create a true representation of your loved ones’ unique gifts and character, to bring together the tapestry of their life.  As their biography unfolds a theme develops to shape a beautiful and authentic ceremony.  Through discussion Kathryn can weave in the participation of family and friends to create something fabulous – and a sense of pride.  Not only can this be expressed through words, but honouring your loved one through ritual, music, singing, photos and literature can also enhance this sacred rite of passage, to bring a more positive and enriching experience for everyone.

Whilst based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, I will travel anywhere around Sydney and beyond to the venue of your choice.

    Kathryn
    You are truly the loveliest, warmest, caring person that anybody could ask for
    When my mum dies I had no idea what to do, you did everything for me and for that I will be forever grateful
    I had a no service, no attendance cremation for my mum and Kathryn made it special for mum to come back to me after the cremation
    She is amazing and if somebody is ready this review I can only hope that I have helped with your decision

    Kathryn was a wonderful, compassionate, wise and dedicated funeral director for my Mum’s funeral. Nothing was too difficult and we really felt that she cared. At a number of stages throughout the process my sister and I were emotional and I saw the tears in Kathryn’s eyes too. She’s real. The venue was perfect, the flowers were amazing and her attention to detail was very impressive. We felt really held through a process that would have been VERY difficult without her. If you’re considering her as a potential funeral director, don’t hesitate.

    Dear Kathryn,
    What a privilege it’s been to work with you as our guide and support at a time where we needed it most. We have been so blessed to have you come into our lives and act as our celebrant and director for our mum Annie’s funeral.
    You walked beside us and held our hand every step of the way and you made an incredibly sad and confusing time one to be celebrated and cherished. The end result was the most amazing celebration of love and life which we were so proud to share with all our family and friends. What an amazing gift you have given us.
    You are an incredible soul Kath, and you have been more than a celebrant to us. From the moment we met you and you sat with mum and shared her life story, you became one of our family. We now share a beautiful piece of family history with you and for that we are truly blessed and thankful.
    Your guidance and the support of the Magnolia funerals team gave us the strength and courage to look beyond the normal funeral process. The result was a celebration of Annie’s life that was untraditional in a traditional setting and something we are immensely proud of. It could not have been any more perfect.
    The feedback from family and friends has been overwhelming in their praise for the celebration. You managed to weave all our wishes into the service and connect all the chapters of Annie’s life into one beautiful story.
    We applaud your vision for the social enterprise you have created in this often impersonal and process driven life event. Your love, compassion and hard work is faultless and we could not recommend you anymore highly.
    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, all our love,
    Tony, Jo and Jamie.

    Dear Kathryn,
    Thanks so much for bringing such heart and soul to John’s funeral. Thanks to you it was such a personal celebration of his life. We are grateful for the time you took to learn about him and so sensitively weave that into the ceremony.
    You made the process a lot easier and less stressful for us.
    Many thanks,
    Anna

    Thank you, Kathryn, I knew you would create a wonderful send off for Reg. Everything went just as I had hoped, relaxed and friendly and the venue was ideal too, allowing everyone to mingle. The ceremony was a true reflection of who he was and a wonderful celebration of his life.
    Thank you for your time, energy and passion to give him the best send-off we could have asked for.

    Dear Kathryn,
    I have always felt that if John died before me I did not know how I would ever be able to cope with his funeral.
    However, the wonderful caring way you conducted the celebration of John’s life changed all that. It was possible for his family and friends to look back on his life, find out what interesting things he had achieved also what a wonderful, caring, gracious and intelligent man he was as a friend, father, husband and in his career as a scientist and explorer.
    Everyone I spoke to said it was the best funeral they had ever attended.
    Thank you so much for your efforts to give John the wonderful funeral he deserved.
