Fuel access isn’t optional for funeral services—it’s essential.
Every day, we travel across our region to bring loved ones into care and support families at one of the most difficult times in their lives. These services are immediate and cannot be delayed.
Without reliable fuel access, families could face disruptions in care when it matters most.
We have written to key leaders—including Jacinta Allan, Mary-Anne Thomas, Lily D'Ambrosio, Annabelle Cleeland, Wendy Lovell, Jaclyn Symes, Melissa Horne, Lisa Chesters, Chris Bowen and Catherine King—to advocate for funeral services to be recognised as an essential service in fuel planning.
Because when someone dies, care cannot wait.

Funeral directors travel significant distances every day to bring loved ones into care and support families through the funeral process. Reliable access to fuel is essential to ensure these services continue without disruption.

As the peak national body, Funerals Australia is advocating to State and Federal Ministers for funeral services to be recognised as an essential service in any fuel prioritisation arrangements, helping ensure families can continue to receive care when they need it most.

Join us in advocating for recognition of funeral services in emergency fuel planning.

It never is! Everyone deserves a goodbye that is unique to them!

On Harmony Day, we acknowledge the many cultures, beliefs and traditions that shape how Australians say goodbye.

Respectful funeral care starts with listening and understanding.

It was a pleasure to support the Ruby McKenzie Salver at the Woodend Golf Club – a wonderful day celebrating both great golf and the legacy of an incredible local trailblazer.
At T.J. Scott & Son, we love supporting the clubs and community groups that bring people together across the Macedon Ranges. Community spirit is at the heart of everything we do, and events like this are a wonderful reminder of the friendships, stories, and shared moments that make our towns so special.
Congratulations to all the players who took part, and thank you to the Woodend Golf Club for your warm hospitality and for hosting such a fantastic day. We were delighted to be involved.

The Caroline Room is a warm, intimate space within our Chapel, thoughtfully designed for families and friends to gather following a farewell.

Here, over light refreshments, stories are shared, memories are spoken aloud, and moments of connection continue in a quieter, more personal setting. Soft natural light, gentle artwork, and calm surroundings create a sense of ease — offering comfort at a time when togetherness matters most.

It is a space for reflection, conversation, and the simple act of being with one another after saying goodbye.

Our third new artwork by local artist Jessie Rigby now sits beautifully within The Caroline Room — our refreshment space designed for quiet conversation and gentle pause.

This abstract piece brings softness and warmth through layered tones and subtle movement, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Its fluid form invites reflection without demand, offering families a moment of ease and comfort as they gather, talk, and share memories.

Thoughtfully chosen, it complements the purpose of this space — one of care, connection, and quiet support.

Our second new artwork by local artist Jessie Rigby now graces our reflection space, inspired by the quiet beauty of the Macedon Reservoir.

With its layered landscape, gentle reflections, and soft, natural tones, this piece brings a deep sense of stillness and balance. It reflects the calm strength of the local environment — familiar, grounding, and quietly reassuring.

We hope it offers families a moment to pause, breathe, and feel supported by the peaceful presence of nature during times of remembrance and reflection.

We are pleased to share three beautiful new artworks now thoughtfully placed within our reflection and chapel spaces, created by local artist Jessie Rigby.

Each piece has been chosen with care, offering a gentle sense of calm, warmth, and connection for the families who gather here. This particular work, inspired by the Campaspe River, brings a familiar and comforting landscape into the space — its soft tones and natural flow inviting quiet reflection and peace.

We hope these artworks provide a moment of stillness and reassurance, supporting families as they remember, reflect, and honour those they love.
