Funeral and Wake Hire in Brisbane

When family and friends gather to farewell someone, the practical details shouldn’t add to the weight of the day. We supply marquees, chairs, tables and sound for funerals, wakes and memorial gatherings at home, in a park or at a local hall. The focus is simple: shade, comfortable seating and a place for people to be together. Our crew can set everything up, or put up just a marquee. You can check availability and book online at any time, or call us to talk it through.

Where we deliver

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, delivered from our Brisbane warehouse.

Planning tips

Arranging a wake or memorial gathering at home or in a park

A few practical steps make a gathering more comfortable for everyone who comes.

  • Shade comes first. Many guests will be older and services often run through the middle of the day. A pagoda marquee protects people from sun and rain while they talk and share memories.
  • Have plenty of seating. Hire enough chairs so no one has to stand for long. Rows suit a service, and smaller groups around tables suit the time afterwards.
  • Make space for food and memories. Tables dressed with linen hold the refreshments, photos, a condolence book and other keepsakes.
  • Help everyone hear the eulogies. Outdoors, voices are easily lost. A PA with a microphone lets every speaker be heard without strain.
  • Consider comfort and amenities. An outdoor heater helps on a cool day, and in a park, or when many people are expected at home, portable toilets and bins take the pressure off.
  • Check the venue’s rules. Parks and public spaces may need a permit, which is the organiser’s responsibility. We hold $20 million public liability cover, can supply a certificate of currency and can help with a risk assessment.

Everything is delivered and collected by our team, and the delivery fee depends on your postcode.
