Celebrate Life Before the Final Bow: Unveiling the Living Wake with Funera Sydney
Ever thought about celebrating your life before it's too late? Enter the world of a living wake - a chance to bask in the praise and stories while you're still around to enjoy it. At Funera Sydney, we get it - spending a fortune on a funeral when you won't be there to witness it doesn't make much sense. Why not attend your own wake and relish the eulogies, tributes, and the impact you've made on friends and family? A living wake is your grand celebration before the final curtain call, whether you call it a 'life celebration,' 'last chapter celebration,' or the 'fabulous going away party.' It's the red carpet treatment for your life story, a traditional wake or funeral, but before you bid adieu. Think milestone birthdays on steroids. More than just a big bash at 50 or 60, living wakes gather loved ones to commemorate life's final chapter, especially for those getting on in years or facing a terminal diagnosis. It's a chance to counteract the half-human feeling that comes with mortality, finding renewal in the celebration of a life well-lived.

- Planning
- Venue options
- What to include?
The idea might seem morbid, but a living wake is the closest thing without the casket and gloom. It's a celebration, not a somber affair, giving you a taste of your own funeral experience.
It's as unique as you are. Formal or informal, birthday party vibes or a roast – you decide. Personalise your celebration with food, dancing, drinks, or cake. At Funera Sydney, we're all about making it your own.
From home to RSL clubs, community centres, restaurants, or even a beach party with a marquee - the choice is yours. We've even heard of living wakes on party boats. The guest list? Your call. If they didn't give you the time of day before, they don't make the cut now.
Eulogies, tributes, special songs, or stories shared by everyone. It's a chance for your loved ones to tell you what you'll be remembered for. Music, dancing, and entertainment? Sure, why not? No rules here.
At Funera Sydney, we understand that a living wake might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as celebration-of-life ceremonies gain popularity, it's worth considering. It's an opportunity to show your loved ones what they mean to you while they're still here to hear it. Spend money on living, not dying. A living wake is a chance to look death in the eye, embrace life, and appreciate the moments that matter.
