Post-funeral services in Geelong.

Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service would like to invite you to

A Time to Remember… Moments & Memories 2024

For a lot of people, Christmas is a time for celebration, and for enjoying time with family and friends.

For many, however, this time of year will always be filled with reminders of someone close who is no longer here, and it can sometimes feel lonely and daunting.

For more than 30 years Tuckers have held a special event to support our families in this situation, and this year families have the choice of attending a 2.00pm afternoon service or our traditional 7.00pm evening service.

We will provide some practical suggestions that may help as you start to prepare for Christmas. We’ll also give you the opportunity to light a candle for your loved one and join others for a chat over some light refreshments.

We hope you will be able to join us at our Grovedale Chapel for one of these special services and we encourage you to bring other family members or friends with you.

If you would like to attend, please phone our office on 5221 4788 by Monday 18^th November. Let us know which service you would like to attend and how many people will be joining us.

If you or other family members can’t attend our Grovedale Chapel in person, the link to view the evening ‘Time to Remember’ service will be on our website. The link will be available on the night and in the days following.

We look forward to seeing you there.

A Time to Remember… Moments & Memories 2023

Each year there are many people who will face the holidays and Christmas for the first time since experiencing the passing of their loved one.

In late November every year, our funeral directors extend our Bereavement Care Program to the wider community by hosting a special evening service called ‘A Time to Remember’. This service helps those who have experienced grief and loss and to prepare for the Christmas period in particular. The event is free to attend on Monday November 27 and we encourage you to bring family or a friend. Following the main part of the program there will be time to connect with Tucker’s staff and celebrants while enjoying a light supper.

For those attending, please RSVP by calling (03) 5221 4788.

If you are unable to join us on the evening, Time to Remember will be webcast, and able to be watched live or in the days after.

A Time to Remember… With Thanks 2022

Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service are very pleased to invite you to our annual Time to Remember evening. After two years of having to make this an online only event due to restrictions, we are really looking forward to people being able to gather again in person for this very special night.

We understand that this can be a challenging time of year for those who have experienced the passing of a loved one, and so we invite you to join the staff of Tuckers at our Barrabool Chapel on Monday November 28. You will hear some practical suggestions that may assist you in the weeks ahead, along with some wonderful music. We hope that you will also take the opportunity to light a candle and place a message in memory of your special person.

For those attending, please RSVP by calling (03) 5221 4788.

If you are unable to join us on the evening, Time to Remember will be webcast, and able to be watched live or in the days after.

A Time to Remember… Better Together 2020

Each year there are many people who face the difficult prospect of experiencing Christmas and the holidays for the first time since the passing of a loved one.

The Tuckers staff are very aware of this and we usually host an evening event late in November to assist families as they prepare for Christmas.

Of course, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, we are unable to hold this as an in-person, live event. So as an alternative we are presenting an on-line event that can be viewed any time from 7:00 pm on Monday, 30th November 2020.

Due to the pandemic, many families were unable to hold the type of funeral that they would have liked, so this event is another opportunity to reflect and honour their loved one, light a candle and hear some encouraging thoughts and suggestions from others who have also experienced grief.

Our theme this year is “Better Together” and we do hope you can join us for our first on-line Time To Remember.

Discussion Group

One of the highlights of the service was the Discussion Group, where the members shared their stories. The full-length version is below and we hope that it may help you or someone you know navigate through the journey of grief.
