After watching the service online, if you can leave a guest message to let the family know you have joined into the service, that would be greatly appreciated.
Dear, Dear Craig. I am so very sorry to hear about your passing.
My time with you in Melbourne and Perth was everything everyone who knew you would expect – fun, funny, soulful, dramatic, etc.
My sympathies go to Dail, Nik and to all of Craig’s family.
A bright and funny Light.
Thank you so much for sharing this service with us.

Thanks to all the speakers. Tough gig, but you conveyed the essential Craig so honestly. My favourite thing about Craig was his generosity. The (too) few times we spoke, I don’t think we ever had a serious word between us, but even though he was a million times funnier than me he never held it over me or anyone else. He brought us along with him and included us in the joke, wherever it took us, which could be somewhere shocking, but he often made himself the butt of the joke, or sometimes joke was his butt. Hairy times. Greatly missed.
What a beautiful service and wonderful eulogies. It evoked memories of Craig and Pauline’s wedding such laughter and love. Much love love to Pauline and the boys.
Such a beautiful service with so many special memories of Craig being shared. Just shows how he touched so many lives and was a larger than life person. Our thoughts are with all the family at this difficult time. xx
What a wonderful service – thank you for such beautiful, funny and insightful eulogies, and a great reminder of just how naturally hilarious Craig was. xxx
Craig you are loved by so many. I won’t ever stop seeing your smile or forget your excellent comic timing. More importantly your warmth and friendship. Rest in peace dear man. My deepest sympathies and love to Pauline Charlie and Ben.
What a beautiful service, I could feel the love and sorrow in the room all the way here in Perth. I was crying and laughing along with you all. Sending love and comfort to my lovely cousin Pauline, Charlie, Ben and sincere condolences to Craig’s family and friends.
A beautiful tribute to a cousin who will never be forgotten.
I’m thankful that my family and I reconnected with Craig over the last 10 years and we all loved him dearly.
Our love and sympathy to Ben, Charlie, Pauline, Aunty Babs, Darrin & Madison
We’ll miss your big bear hugs Craig, the footy games, your visits, your bullshit, your unforgettable laugh and the many many stories you told. You always made us laugh and we smile through our tears remembering you, but we smile…….
Love ya guts Cuz

Deepest condolences to to all Craig’s family and friends .
Thank you for the live stream . It was a wonderful tribute to a beautiful man that I’m so deeply thankful for crossing paths with.
Dearest Craig,
I won’t say rest in piece because I know you’ll be out there full of action and as loud as fuck playing for the angels, singing to the stars and making everyone laugh with your wicked humour.
Thank you for your friendship.
I miss you and our late night phone calls.
Until we meet again love always Gaynor

So sorry to farewell such a lovely bloke so young. I’ve rarely found anyone so relentlessly hilarious as Craig. My condolences to the family on losing this bright soul.
My condolences to Craig’s family and loved ones, a great loss to many.
Thank you for the lovely words and memories to all those who participated in the service.
A beautiful service for a beautiful, beautiful man. An honour to share laughter and tears with those who loved him. Shine on, mate. Already missing your hugs.
My thoughts are with Craig’s family and in particular his two sons. Craig and I were at Mildura West Primary School and Mildura High School together. What a crazy, funny and kind kid he was. I cherish the memories from our 25 year high school reunion in 2014 where I (and indeed, all of us) had the most wonderful night of Craig Astbury at his very best. He said that night that his greatest achievement was his two boys – he was so proud!
I will always miss the jokes that Craig pulled off at junior cricket. and just making ben and i laugh so much. he would always take the piss out of us and i loved him so much
My deepest sympathy and condolences to Craig’s family and friends… he was a delightfully naughty and funny bloke whose humour could slice through BS like a hot knife through butter. He will be missed very much.
With love, and fart jokes,

Cherished memories of a special friend who shared a passion for the stage and listening to QUEEN. Forever a special place in my heart. Love to Babs, Darren, Craig’s children and all who loved him. “Your kindness has broken the Ogre’s spell….. “. Xx
I am so grateful for having known Craig, and honoured to have had the privilege of sharing the stage with him on more than one occasion, and marvelling at his innate ability to entertain.
My most sincere condolences to all who share such profound grief in having lost such a wonderful man.
