It was a day of joy, reflection and sincere appreciation as Adriano Coluccio Funeral Services hosted a celebratory luncheon to mark the grand opening of their new office in Five Dock. The event, held at Miz Tutti in Mortlake, brought together approximately 30 guests for an afternoon dedicated not only to the company’s latest chapter, but also to honouring the extraordinary women within the business and the broader funeral industry.
Hosted by Tony Rizzotto, alongside business partners Giovanni Rosati and Marie Pangallo—represented on this occasion by Elisabeth Rizzotto due to a last-minute commitment—the lunch was a perfect blend of warm hospitality and heartfelt tribute. It was an opportunity to thank the people who have supported the growth of Adriano Coluccio Funeral Services, and to recognise the compassion, dedication, and professionalism of the women who are fundamental to its daily operations and enduring reputation.
The atmosphere at Miz Tutti was both elegant and welcoming, with guests enjoying a beautiful selection of dishes prepared by Sam Stanzione and his outstanding team. Their impeccable service and cuisine provided the ideal setting for conversation, laughter, and meaningful exchanges. Each course reflected the care and quality that mirrors the values of the company itself: dignity, respect, and personal attention to detail.
Adding to the charm of the afternoon were several special touches that made guests feel genuinely appreciated. Marie Cocciolone of O COSMEDICS generously contributed curated gift packs, adding a note of luxury and wellness to the event. Meanwhile, the parting gift of freshly baked bread from Nonna’s Bakery was a heartfelt nod to tradition, home, and nourishment—values that align closely with the ethos of Adriano Coluccio Funeral Services.
The choice to centre the luncheon around the contributions of women in the industry was deliberate and meaningful. In a profession that demands not only skill and resilience but also deep empathy and emotional intelligence, the women of Adriano Coluccio Funeral Services and their peers exemplify leadership in its most human form. Their tireless commitment to families during their most vulnerable moments is a testament to the strength and grace they bring to their roles every day.
As the business expands into the vibrant community of Five Dock, this moment served as a celebration not just of physical growth, but of the relationships, trust, and shared values that have carried the company forward over the years. It also reaffirmed the team’s dedication to continuing their work with integrity and compassion—qualities that have made Adriano Coluccio Funeral Services a trusted name across Sydney.
