  • Late last year I had the honour of capturing a very special service for the most senior surviving officer with Second World War service. I was asked by the family to record the full service and military procession from the church to the Cenotaph at Martin Place. St James’ Church in the city is a beautiful church to film in. I had my challenges in capturing the 3 events in the one day, though with some forward planning and being quick on my feet I was able to capture all the key moments. Many thanks to Janette from TJ Andrews Funeral Services who conducted the service. Feedback from family: ‘Dear Michelle, Thank you so much. I am sure we will all take some solace in this video in years to come and what a memory it will be for the future generation. Kind regards Barb' Funeral Director: TJ Andrews Funeral Services Location: St James’ Church Sydney

  • Recommended by Rob at Boland Funerals, the family requested the chapel and burial service be filmed for relatives in Croatia. I set up two camera video coverage of the chapel and burial service, as well as photography. I was also able to run the AV system during the service. It was a small gathering, and the feedback from both the family and Rob was positive: “The family were impressed with Michelle ‘s service and the way she was not intrusive during the service and at graveside. From my view, I would second that and add that the clarity and tone of the video is excellent” Funeral Director: Boland Funerals Location: Boland Funerals Chapel, Maroubra & Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park

  • I headed out to Coogee for this funeral service, which honoured a former President of Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club, who was well known in the east in surf rescue circles. One of the deceased’s sons resides in New York and couldn’t attend, so the family thought they’d send him a recording of his dad’s service. Held at the beautiful St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Coogee, the deceased was honoured by the surf club by having a boat named after him. Music used during the service was sung by the deceased, which was a nice personal touch. Funeral Director: Walter Carter Funerals Location: St Brigid’s Catholic Church, Coogee

  • On the 29th of January we farewelled the late Max Perram, of Max Perram's Funeral Service. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Max Perram staff for a number of years, so it was an honour to document his final journey with them. It was a massive production day for Funeral Video Australia. Cameras were set up at the church 2 hours before the service. I travelled to the family home to film the hearse arrive and the family spending some time with Max. I then filmed the departure of the hearse from the family home, and drove back to the church in time to film the arrival of the hearse. The Perram family chose to have full coverage of the service - with 3 cameras rolling. At the conclusion of the service the hearse drove past Max Perram's Liverpool office. As a sign of respect, the staff lined up outside, accompanied by bag piper Todd Ridgeway (Red beard Music). I then set up my gear at the crematorium chapel for the private service with the family, for their final goodbyes. With being organised, experienced and physically fit, a day like this can be documented by one Videographer. That’s what Funeral Video Australia specialise in. This keeps the cost down for the family, as only one Videographer is needed on the day. The post production process is streamlined, allowing for quick turnarounds of the video, private links for families to share - plus a USB hard copy. Thank you to Julie, Craig & Senya from Max Perrams. They did a wonderful job saying goodbye to their past employer - someone they had worked with for over 12 years.

  • ‘The beautiful five-year-old girl who moved the hearts of all who knew her in Canberra has died after a desperate search for treatment for her highly aggressive brain tumour’…this was how the local paper described the deceased for this moving service. Family and loved ones chose to celebrate her life with Disney music and her favourite colours of pink, purple and green. Her family had huge support from the local community. They also gave the respect to the family to have the celebration with only a small gathering on the day. A young life lost too soon. Funeral Director: White Lady Funerals Griffith, ACT. Conducted by Cindy. Location: Norwood Park Crematorium, ACT

  • For this touching service, the family was referred to me by Maree at Simplicity Funerals, Miranda. The sister of the deceased was very close with her brother and was devastated she couldn't attend the service, as she is in a nursing home. See More: https://bit.ly/2WgDt4r

  • 💜 I was privileged to be introduced to Odette by Richard from Walter Carter Funerals. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I created the tribute video with Odette that was played at the church, and we also created a longer video that looped at the wake with over 450 photos taken with loved ones. Odette chose the beautiful St Peters Church at Watsons Bay. It’s a smaller church that only seats 60 people. Therefore, we arranged for a marquee to be set up next to the church and organised a live video feed to loved ones outside. She arrived on a horse draw carriage, and there was a Dove release by the family to conclude the service. It was the most emotional service I attended last year, as I had gotten to know Odette before she passed. Richard and Walter Carter did an amazing job. The wake at Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel was a great party. Cocktails, oysters, drag shows…it was a true celebration of Odette’s life! It was emotional watching everyone gather around and watch the photo tribute playing on all the TVs. What a day. What a life. Location: St Peter's Anglican Church, Watsons Bay. Wake: Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel Funeral Director: Walter Carter Funerals - conducted by Richard.

  • For this moving service, the deceased was a young father that had passed from cancer, and he had a young son. The family wanted to document the funeral as a keepsake for him. Matthew from Southern Cross Funeral Directors recommended our services to the family. We provided standard coverage of the service, including before and after the service, as well as outside of the surf club reception room. It was a privilege to film the guard of honour formed outside by loved ones. Wanda Surf club did a great job in setting up, running AV, and changing the room quickly to prepare for the wake. Location - Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club, Cronulla Southern Cross Funeral Directors - Conducted by Matthew.
