Why Chose A Living Wake?
We craft a deeply personal moment that weaves your life’s essence, values, and story into a profound experience, where you can, for example, decorate a coffin with heartfelt messages and paintings to reflect your unique journey. This gathering brings loved ones together to share love and closure in the eternal now, guided gently by our team with tenderness and care. Choose a pathway that suits your heart—whether in-person at a location of your choice or our serene space in Fountaindale, NSW.
We offer mindful options to align with your values, ensuring every detail is crafted with love to reflect your authenticity.
We often celebrate someone’s life after they’ve passed, but what if that celebration could happen while they’re still here to be part of it?
A living wake gives people nearing the end of life the chance to take part in their own celebration. It’s a unique and powerful way to honour their life with them, on their own terms.
At Changing Tides, we believe everyone deserves the chance to say goodbye in a way that reflects who they are. Whether it’s a quiet gathering of close family, a beach picnic, a garden lunch, or even a day on a fishing trawler, your final celebration can be as unique as you are. This is your time. Your way. We’re here to help you imagine it, plan it, and make it happen.

What Exactly Is A Living Wake?
A living wake offers individuals nearing the end of their journey a chance to be present for their own tribute. It’s a heartfelt and meaningful way to honour a person’s story—while they’re still here to share in it.
At Changing Tides, we believe that goodbyes should be as personal and meaningful as the lives they mark. Whether it's a relaxed afternoon with loved ones, a picnic by the sea, lunch in a blooming garden, or even a trip out on a fishing boat—your farewell can reflect your spirit and your wishes. This is your moment. Done your way. We’re here to guide you in dreaming it, planning it, and bringing it to life.
