Celebration of Life

A Peaceful Farewell By The Bay

With sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay and a peaceful foreshore setting, Parkdale Yacht Club offers a serene and private space to honour the life of a loved one. Whether you're planning a quiet farewell or a heartfelt memorial, our venue provides a comforting environment to gather, reflect, and celebrate with family and friends. If you wish to include a coffin as part of the service, our space respectfully accommodates this with care and consideration.

Our light-filled function room opens onto a spacious balcony overlooking the water, creating a tranquil backdrop for your service. The space is flexible and fully accessible, with thoughtful inclusions to help you personalise the day — whether through photos, music, or memory displays.

Our dedicated team is here to support you with care and sensitivity, helping to create a meaningful event that reflects the individual you are remembering. We also offer assistance with trusted local suppliers for catering, florals, and more.

Honouring a loved one starts with thoughtful planning

Testimonials

Thoughtful reflections on meaningful farewells held by the bay.

"Great venue for a ‘Celebration of Life’ with a fabulous view and staff that were efficient and accomodating. Highly recommend'

"Greenhaven Funerals is a leading, independently owned and operated funeral home based in the bayside suburb of Mordialloc.
Over the last 12 years we have regularly used the wonderful venue at Parkdale Yacht Club to hold funeral and memorial services for our client families.
Parkdale Yacht Club is a very special venue for many reasons. The staff are always very helpful and responsive, the venue is modern, light and spacious, easy to access and the views across the bay are sensational. Whatever Melbourne weather throws at us, sunshine, clouds, wind, rain... the view from this venue provides the perfect backdrop for us to create beautiful celebration of life ceremonies that honour the life of those who loved living by the bay. Parkdale Yacht Club allows great flexibility for families to choose their own catering and there is a cash bar for those who wish to have a glass of something after the ceremony. It's just such a great venue and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to create something special, when it comes time to saying farewell to someone they love."
