Our Social Media Posting Packages help funeral homes, celebrants, and families share updates with dignity—whether announcing the passing of a much-loved community member or creating a special tribute that truly reflects their story.

Haven Light Studio is here to help you shine a light on what’s important.

In one of the hardest moments of your life, you may be asked to write about someone you love. It can feel impossible — how do you place a whole life into a few paragraphs? This is where we come in.

At Haven Light Studio, we craft thoughtful, accurate, and heartfelt words that honour your person with dignity and warmth. If you can share a simple summary — their full name, date of birth and passing, immediate family names, and one or two fond memories — we will shape it into a beautiful piece for you to share online, in service booklets, or at the ceremony.

We write with compassion, clarity, and care — so you can focus on being with the people who matter most.

What we might receive from you:

• Full name: Margaret “Maggie” Rose Bennett

• Date of birth: 12 May 1956

• Date of passing: 3 October 2025

• Immediate family: Husband Peter; children Sarah and Daniel; grandchildren Eva and Leo

• A fond memory: Saturday pancakes, the smell of jasmine in her garden, and her habit of leaving handwritten notes in lunchboxes

• Community: Volunteer at local op shop; known for her kind smile and warm welcome

Below is an example of how we can turn your information into formal or heartfelt tributes.

OBITUARY (Non-formal - mainly used for social media)

Margaret “Maggie” Rose Bennett

12 May 1956 – 3 October 2025

We remember Maggie Bennett with grateful hearts, a gentle soul whose kindness and quiet humour touched everyone she met. She was the beloved wife of Peter, the loving mother of Sarah and Daniel, and the proud Nanna of Eva and Leo, finding her greatest joy in a close family and a kitchen that came alive with Saturday pancakes.

Born and raised in Brisbane, Maggie later became a devoted volunteer at the local op shop, greeting each person with a smile that made them feel at home and valued. She tended her jasmine garden with care, and she often left handwritten notes for the people she loved, simple messages that reminded us to slow down, to be kind, and to notice the small, beautiful things that brighten ordinary days.

Maggie’s family invites friends to gather in gratitude and remembrance, honouring a life lived with grace, generosity, and warmth. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the op shop she cherished would be a fitting way to continue her legacy of quiet care.

EULOGY (Opening example)

Good morning, and thank you for being here to honour Margaret “Maggie” Bennett, whose presence filled our lives with a steady warmth that welcomed you at the door, drifted in on the scent of jasmine from her garden, and lingered in the little notes she tucked into lunchboxes and beneath teacups. She believed that love is shown in small, everyday gestures, and she chose those gestures often, trusting that gentle consistency could carry a family through both ordinary moments and harder days.

On Saturdays the kitchen became her favourite place, with batter on the bench, music on the radio, and pancakes turning in time with her laughter, and in those simple rituals she gathered us close and taught us that family is not only something you have but something you make, one thoughtful act at a time. Today, as we share stories and say thank you, we remember a woman who chose kindness daily, and we hold to the light she taught us to notice, a light that still guides us in the quiet hours we now face together....
