Pre-planning a funeral can feel like a big step, but it’s often one of the kindest things you can do for the people you love. ❤️

It can be as simple as recording your wishes: burial or cremation, music, flowers, who speaks, what sort of atmosphere you’d want. And importantly, pre-planning doesn’t have to mean pre-paying. Visit Walter Carter or visit us in Waverley.

It’s not about being morbid. It’s about leaving clarity behind, so your family isn’t forced to make heavy decisions while they’re grieving.

11/01/2026

Sometimes it’s one detail that makes the whole room exhale.
A scent that reminds everyone of home. A piece of music that says what words can’t. A symbolic item beside the coffin that quietly tells their story.

Personalisation isn’t about “doing more”. It’s about doing what matters.

If you’re planning a farewell and want it to feel like them, we’re here to guide you through the possibilities with care and clarity. Visit waltercarter.com.au .

A meaningful farewell doesn’t have to fit a template.

For some, it’s a chapel service. For others, it’s a goodbye in a place that mattered, a garden gathering, or a quiet ceremony where the details feel personal: a favourite song, colours instead of black, even having pets present for comfort.

At Walter Carter Funerals, we believe a farewell should reflect the person, not a rulebook, and we’ll help you create something that feels true to them. Visit waltercarter.com.au.

As the year turns, we don’t “leave” people behind. We carry them forward. ❤️

Their sayings, their songs, their little rituals often somehow become ours. And while New Year’s can bring hope, it can also bring a strange kind of ache, especially if this is your first without them.

If you’re stepping into 2026 with a tender heart, take it slowly. Grief doesn’t follow calendars, but love has a way of staying.

Wishing our community a New Year filled with steadier days, softer moments, and love that continues in all the ways that matter.

23/12/2025

It can be a season of full hearts, and also tender spaces.

If you’re missing someone at the table this year, you’re not alone. Sometimes it’s the quiet moments that speak loudest, like an empty chair, a familiar laugh you can almost hear, or a tradition that suddenly feels different.

From all of us at Walter Carter, we’re sending gentle strength to every family carrying love and loss side by side this Christmas.

If you need support, or simply someone to listen, we’re here. ❤️

A Celebration of Life isn’t only about saying goodbye, it’s about saying thank you.

Thank you for the laughter, the love, the lessons, and the legacy.

At Walter Carter Funerals, we help families create uplifting tributes that reflect how their loved ones lived, not just how they left.
