FAQ - Catering

Catering for a funeral allows focus on honouring their loved one, and saves the hassle of coordinating and preparing food, serving, and cleaning up, easing the burden on you and your guests.

Having delicious food conveniently available at such a stressful time can also help provide comfort and is one less thing for guests to think about.

We offer a range of catering options, and can create a custom experience should you request it. However, for most services we find finger food or share plates to be the most appropriate option, so we have designed our food menu to reflect this.

We have both hot and cold food options, as well as savoury, sweets, and various cuisines. Our menu can be also customised to suit your preferences and dietary requirements.

Our food service also includes tea and coffee, at no extra charge.

We also provide other catering services as well as home-delivered Comfort Meals.

Yes, we understand the importance of catering to diverse needs. Our team can accommodate various dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other preferences.

Please let your Funeral Planner know of any dietary requirements when you place your order.

No. Your catering selection will be delivered to the venue of your choosing and our trained staff will prepare it for you.

As our catering service has been designed to align with the short-notice nature of funerals, therefore, we need very little notice for catering arrangements. That said, while we do our best to accommodate last minute requests or special orders, we do need adequate time for preparation and delivery.

We suggest you speak with your funeral planner as early as possible in the arrangement process so that we can do our best to fulfil your order.

Absolutely. We can cater to gatherings of all sizes, from intimate family gatherings to larger memorial services. Our goal is to provide a seamless and respectful catering experience in any setting.

Our packages typically include food preparation, delivery to venue, service staff, necessary equipment, and cleanup. We don’t charge for changes due to dietary requirements and we provide tea and coffee free of charge with all of our packages. We can also discuss additional services based on your specific needs.

Our Comfort Food service allows you to send home-style meals to a loved one or for yourself. Sending food is such a practical and thoughtful gift, especially for someone who is grieving or going through a hard time in their life.

You can head to the Diamond Celebrations website to select a Comfort Food package, or meals a la carte and place your order to be delivered.

Yes. If your family would like to incorporate food into your service, please let your Funeral Planner know. We have arranged many funerals with specific catering or food service, including buffets, sit-down dinners, suppers, and specially made treats.

A funeral can be a difficult event to cater for for many reasons, and it can be challenging to know how many people may be attending. We recommend calling out Diamond Celebrations team on (03) 8468 1770 to discuss your needs. 

Due to our experience with funerals we will be able to guide you with numbers and provide recommendations for catering options.

The team at Tobin Brothers East Burwood handled the funerals of both my parents beautifully and respectfully. You can organise funeral details or do clothing drop offs at any site which is handy if unable to attend the service site. We had priests as chosen by Tobin Brothers and they have been great. Had some light catering the second time around and the food was all delicious. Great option for a more personal experience. Thank you.

We could not have asked for better, the team at Tobin Brothers East Burwood were very helpful, caring and professional throughout the whole process. On the day of my Mother’s funeral we were more than comfortable with the support and assistance we received from the Tobin staff.

From the time our father passed away to his funeral, Tobin Brothers in East Burwood were fantastic. A big thank you to Judith the funeral planner, Veronica the Celebrant, Mary Anne who looked after us at dads funeral and the team on the day. It went very smoothly and the guests loved the venue and food.

Michelle and the team at Tobin Brothers Burwood organised the funeral for our father who passed away this week. Michelle was beautiful and made the process completely stress free. Thankfully we don't have to organise a funeral every week, but if I did I would use these guys! Highly recommended.
