We decided to go with *** after receiving poor service from another FD and *** team were simply amazing. We were assigned Kelly who looked after us so well. She arranged everything, was decisive, quick with coming back to us with dates and responses to our queries. On the day Shane and the team were amazing.They also worked so well with Rev Nathan Ward so the whole day was a huge success and we can not thank them enough . I would so recommend them for their professionalism and sensitivity to our family. Thank you all at ***

A truly great service from start to finish. All options for the funeral were explained clearly and carried out compassionately. Anna was always helpful, polite and considerate to my needs for my wifes funeral. The funeral employees on the day were again very professional and our instructions from them were clear and precise. A huge thank you for organising the funeral, it went exactly how it was planned. My wife would have been proud of her send off. Thank you. Lee

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you arrange a funeral?
You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.
Read moreWhat are disbursements?
Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.
Read moreHow can I get help with funeral costs?
If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
