Changing the way funerals are done for the better

Are you searching for non-traditional funeral homes in your area? Picaluna is all about offering genuine, personal funerals, helping family, friends and the community to honour, mourn, celebrate, heal and rejuvenate.

A little about us

What’s in a name?

Our founders were inspired by some extraordinary images of a
cliff-top funeral for a still-born baby named Luna. It was heart-felt, community-lead and beautiful. Little Luna gave us our name. Grazie Luna.
(Italian: piccolina – little one)

The Picaluna team are amazing. We were so thrilled to have Candice not only as the funeral director but also the celebrant at mums funeral. She took care of everything!! She was always available to answer questions, thought outside the box, organised, super lovely/awesome, empathetic, the list goes on. How she wrote and spoke about mum, captured mums life brilliantly. What I love about the company is that they are transparent with the financial side of things, their contribution to charity and also having the option of eco-friendly coffins. I can't thank Picaluna and Candice enough for mums send off, would 110% recommend them.

We used Picaluna Funerals (with Candice and her staff) for our mother’s funeral. From the first contact to the last, Picaluna were fantastic. Easy to deal with, always happy to answer questions, friendly and empathic and always professional. Our family would highly recommend them.

Jaqi was so compassionate in the way she guided us to organise a beautiful day to celebrate the life of my precious Dad. She showed so much empathy and respect both to us as family members and to my beautiful Dad. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and such a fitting way to honour my Dad. I am so grateful that we were blessed to have Jaqi journey with us as we farewelled our wonderful Dad. She showed all of us kindness and love.Thank you so much Jaqi

I would highly recommend Picaluna funerals to any families in their time of need. JC Storace our Funeral Director and her team were highly respectful, compassionate and transparent through the whole process. Unlike most funeral companies, Picaluna tailor exactly to your needs without charging the world, the difference in costing was huge from my previous experiences and the quality of the service supplied really great. Myself and my family thank Picaluna Funerals for making our experience that bit less stressful and beautiful at the same time.Gavin Griffin
