WHAT ARE FUNERAL TRIBUTES?

OUR ONLINE TRIBUTES PAGE IS A SPACE WHERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN GATHER, SHARE WORDS OF COMFORT, AND VIEW WEBCASTS OF FUNERALS, EITHER LIVE OR PREVIOUSLY RECORDED.

FUNERAL TRIBUTES

To begin, follow the above link and search the person’s name to view service details or share a tribute. If the funeral took place before July 2025, you can find their tribute on our previous
eTributes platform, which will remain available until August 2026.

OUR FUNERAL TRIBUTES PROVIDE A WAY TO SHARE YOUR MEMORIES AND TO GAIN COMFORT FROM COMMUNAL EXPRESSIONS OF GRIEF.

Funeral tributes are a heartfelt way to share memories about the person who has died and connect with family and friends. At Kings Funerals, our online tributes platform offers a space where you can post messages, photos and read words of comfort shared by others.

Whether you’re in Geelong or far away, our tributes for funerals bring people together in a meaningful, lasting way. This shared memorial space allows people to express support for grieving families, even when they may not be able to attend the service in person or do not have a close relationship with the family. For many people, reading the stories and condolences left by others provides a sense of comfort and connection in the early stages of bereavement.

How our tributes work

Each person’s tribute page is a digital memorial, a place to share and revisit memories in the first year after a death. On these pages, you’ll find:

• Messages, photos, and stories from friends and family
• Details about the funeral service, including webcast links for live streaming or viewing after the funeral day (if requested)
• Optional links for donations to chosen charities

By keeping everything in one place, our platform makes it easy for families to share memories and keep others informed.

Our tributes are open to everyone, not just immediate family. You don’t need to worry about writing the “perfect” message. A simple memory, a kind thought, or a short note of sympathy can be treasured, no matter how small it may seem.

Recorded services and webcast

If you’re unable to attend in person, tribute pages often include links to the
service webcast. This allows family and friends across Australia or overseas to view the service and share memories.

Sometimes webcasts may be disrupted by technical issues beyond anyone’s control. For peace of mind, every service that is webcast is also recorded. If the live stream doesn’t run smoothly, the recording is usually available within 24 hours.

Why tributes matter

Posting a tribute doesn’t need to be formal, poetic, or perfect. It’s simply a way to share love, gratitude, or a memory that mattered to you.

Many families revisit the tribute page in the weeks and months after the funeral, especially on anniversaries and meaningful dates.

Tributes also offer a way for younger generations to learn about family members they may not have known personally.
