Grief has a colour - pink.
Holly Bowles' friends made the unofficial dress code for the methanol poisoning victim's funeral 'a touch of pink' to pay tribute to the 19-year-old.
Almost 1000 mourners congregated in colour at Beaumaris Secondary College in Melbourne's bayside on Monday afternoon.
Ms Bowles and her best friend Bianca Jones had been holidaying in Laos when they became unwell after consuming drinks in the tourist town of Vang Vieng.
She died in a Bangkok hospital on November 22, a day after Ms Jones died in another hospital in the Thai capital.
Songs including Chappelle Roan's Red Wine Supernova, Chihiro by Billie Eilish and ABBA's Mamma Mia helped soundtrack the service which also included a photo tribute to Ms Bowles' life.
Family and friends formed a guard of honour after the funeral as the teenager's coffin was slowly driven away from her old school.
Beaumaris Secondary College's Acting Principal, Peter Bartlett, thanked people across Australia and overseas for their "outpouring of love, support and compassion in the wake of the tragedy".
"Your kindness has been a source of strength and comfort for our family," Mr Bartlett said in a statement on behalf of Ms Bowles' parents Shaun and Samantha, and brother James, before the service.
"Today is a profoundly significant day for our family as we come together to celebrate Holly's life.
"Holly was loved and adored by so many people, and today is a reflection on her life, however she will remain forever in our hearts."
Both women's families have asked people to donate to the girls' GoFundMe in lieu of flowers.
The fundraiser has received more than $414,000 and was to help with the families' financial burdens before being expanded to help raise awareness about the dangers of methanol poisoning.
Ms Jones was farewelled in an emotional service attended by more than 1000 community members at Mentone Girls' Grammar on Friday.
The school's grounds were also filled with guests in colourful summer clothes, the way Ms Jones' family said she lived her life and how she would wish to be remembered.
The pair did not leave their dorm at the Nana Backpacker Hostel 24 hours after going to Jaidee Bar in Laos and reported feeling unwell on November 13, before being rushed to hospitals in Bangkok.
An American man, two Danish women and a British woman were among the six foreign nationals who also died and at least eight people, believed to be hotel staff and management, have been detained.
