Melbourne Memorial.
A new brand, and a booking system built with care.

Melbourne Memorial Services cleans and maintains gravesites across Melbourne's cemeteries — one-off restorations, monthly care plans with fresh flowers, and seasonal flower delivery — for families who can't always be there themselves. We created the brand from scratch, designed and built the website on custom WordPress, and engineered a bespoke booking form that prices every monument type, adds flowers, captures the gravesite details and takes payment, including recurring monthly plans. Brand identity, website and custom booking system by established.

The challenge

Nobody wants to shop for grave cleaning. The booking had to feel like a kindness.

This is a sensitive purchase, often made by someone grieving, often made from interstate. The brand had to be dignified without being sombre, and the website had to make it easy — not transactional — to arrange care for a loved one's resting place. A generic quote form would have felt cold; a generic shop would have felt wrong.

Underneath the sensitivity, the business logic was real. Pricing depends on the monument — single or double, headstone, tombstone or wall mausoleum — and whether it's a one-off or ongoing. Flowers are an add-on. Staff need the cemetery, the section, the name and a location note to find the site. Monthly plans need recurring billing. All of it had to live in one form a 70-year-old could complete on a phone.

Melbourne Memorial booking form
The approach

Create the brand. Design with care. Build the form around the business.

01

Create the identity

A brand built on compassion and dignity: logo, palette and typography that feel calm and trustworthy, and a tone of voice that speaks to families, not customers.

02

Design a website that reassures

Video hero of the work being done, three clear service tiers with transparent starting prices, testimonials from families, and Book a Service as the single, gentle call to action on every page.

03

Engineer the booking configurator

A custom form where the customer chooses one-off or monthly, then picks their monument type from six priced cards, adds seasonal flowers, selects the cemetery and enters the deceased's name, section and a location note — with price updating as they go.

04

Wire pricing and payments into WooCommerce

Every monument-and-frequency combination mapped to a priced product, flowers as add-ons, monthly care plans as recurring subscriptions, and inspection-priced extras captured for quoting — all flowing into one order the team can action.

05

Set expectations and close the loop

What's included spelled out beside the form, a 24-hour confirmation promise, after-service photos sent to the family, and a note to inform relatives before staff attend — the operational details that make the service feel considered.

The brand

An identity built with compassion.
