Meet our Founder
Farewell Catering was founded by Colleen, a deeply experienced and passionate caterer who has supported Melbourne families for over 20 years. While her career has spanned weddings, events, and celebrations, it’s funeral catering that holds the most meaning for her.
Colleen believes in the power of homemade, high-quality food to bring comfort and connection. Her menus have been carefully refined over time to suit the tone of a celebration of life. Elegant, familiar, and thoughtful.
With long-standing relationships across Melbourne’s funeral homes, churches, and venues, Colleen brings both professionalism and genuine care to every event, helping families feel supported during a difficult time.

Funeral and Memorial Catering
Funerals often come together within days, and we understand how overwhelming that can feel. Our caring team responds quickly and thoughtfully, helping you navigate guest numbers, menu choices, staffing, and setup.
All of our food is freshly made in our Kew kitchen by our trusted in-house team, never outsourced or rushed. Whether it’s an intimate home gathering or a large service at a church or funeral home, we provide comforting, high-quality food that brings people together.
We’re proud to regularly work with respected names like Le Pine Funerals, Tobin Brothers, Selwyn Allen, Lonergan Raven, Gardenia Funerals, and White Lady Funerals.
Our staff are part of the Farewell Catering family, not hired through agencies. Many have been with us for years and are deeply committed to offering service that is kind, professional, and respectful. From setup to pack-down, they bring genuine warmth to every farewell.
At the heart of what we do is a simple belief: that every goodbye should feel personal and full of love. It’s our privilege to support families with food and service that feels sincere, comforting, and special.
