25.01.2022 As we endeavour to minimise the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic is creating we wish to keep our client families informed of some changes that will affect our funeral ceremonies, and it is within the interest of our families, and in line with guidelines set down by the federal government that we bring these changes to your attention. We are encouraging families to have private services to restrict the numbers of mourners and in so doing reducing the risk of spreading the ...Corona virus. PSF will strictly monitor and adhere to the number of mourners attending a funeral ceremony to be no greater than 100 people indoors and 500 people outdoors. Refreshments will not be served. However catering can be organised and food delivered to a venue of your choice. Condolence registers will not be available at the registration table because of the high risk of passing on infection. We have been live streaming funeral services now for quite some time. We are very happy to provide a link that people can access should they wish to view the funeral ceremony live. In addition to this, every service is recorded and a copy of the funeral ceremony recording can be provided upon request. We apologise that we have had to make these drastic changes to our funeral services at this time. However we are confident that you will understand that these decisions have been made in the best interest of caring for our client families, mourners, and our PSF family. Please be assured that we will continue to keep you informed of any changes. Warmest regards Phillip and Michelle Stephens

24.01.2022 We were honoured to be a part of a very special goodbye on Thursday for Gary "Gaz" Walker. This video shows just a small snippet of the true impact that Gaz had on his friends, family and community. As we drove from our funeral home to Copping for his interment, we were accompanied by over 70 trucks, bikes and cars in convoy as well as hundreds of people lining the sides of the roads through Midway Point, Sorell, Forcett and Copping. Everyone wearing their flannies in honour ...of the man himself. As funeral directors, it has been heartbreaking to see how the grief and loss people are feeling has been so horribly amplified by the forced isolation and physical seperation when the most powerful thing at such a time is a hug or a touch. We know how important it is to do our part to flatten the curve right now, and the rules are in place for a good reason but it's still so hard. What we have been so amazed by however is the incredible ways families have found to be creative in their goodbyes and honour their loved ones despite the restrictions. In the absence of touch, the love can still be shown and felt. This convoy is a wonderful example of how physical distance doesn't have to be social distance, and love transcends all, even a global pandemic. Along with this convoy, we also had over 500 individual devices watching the memorial service on the live stream, which is the biggest live stream we have done to date. All of this speaks to the amazing man Gary was, and we would like to thank Gary's beautiful family for trusting us to take care of their man.

23.01.2022 At this unsettling time our PSF team just wanted to reach out and let you know how we’re dealing with the situation of the COVID-19 virus, and reassure you that above all else, the safety of our client families and our staff is our highest priority right now. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is here to stay for the foreseeable future, and whilst there is no cause for panic, we are very conscious that the most vulnerable people are our elderly and those who’s health is already compromis...Continue reading

23.01.2022 Too often we see the devastating effects of people who were not okay. Every time it is gut wrenching, complicated, confusing and worst of all, so very final. Sometimes, no amount of conversation, checking in, or love can fix or save someone. The good news is though, far more often than not, it IS enough. Just a simple question, a genuine expression of interest in someone else's well being or a quick text to check in can be life changing - life saving even. Most of us have no ...clue how powerful our words are, how valuable our time is to someone else, or how much capacity we have to set someone back on a good path. So today especially we really encourage you all to give that bit of time, think about your friends or family you haven't seen in a while and never doubt how capable you are of changing lives. What you may find too, is in searching for ways to help others, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling of fulfilment too - It's a wonderful cycle and it's how we all get through together!

19.01.2022 The measure of a man’s greatness is not how many servants he has, but by the number of people he serves.

17.01.2022 I was privileged to be invited by a family to conduct a full funeral service today for their beloved husband and father. Six people were in attendance in the ch...apel. One family member sat apart from the rest of the family. She had flown in from Melbourne to attend the service for her father. Several other people were in attendance via a Livestreaming provider - a brilliant addition to services in my opinion. There may as well have been 250 people in attendance given the tributes prepared by the man's family. One son commented after that he was glad they'd decided to have the service this soon after the death of his father and that he felt the presence in the chapel of every person who would have attended the service under normal circumstances. The family recognises that many people wanted to join them today, so they'll have a Memorial Service later when circumstances allow such a gathering. I am very happy to be able to conduct a funeral service and Memorial later for families for no extra charge. I am also happy to discuss the strategies we used that made today's service possible.

16.01.2022 To make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care enough and be there. Anonymous One morning every week our new member of staff, Kasey, adds a warm and precious touch to the sensitive stories of life’s experiences and journeys that we all have to share.
