We understand that families require flexibility in making decisions about funerals and our professional service fees reflect this. From the simplest service to the most complex, we are able to assist families with professionalism and quality. We also focus on providing the finest quality products and services, including coffins, caskets, urns, flowers, and vehicles. As a full service funeral provider, we are able to assist you with every aspect of the funeral to make it unique and designed for your exact requirements.

The provision of funeral services is divided into three key areas:

  • Professional Services (these are the services the funeral director performs: e.g. arranging the funeral, preparing the deceased, conducting the funeral)
  • Funeral Merchandise (this are items that the funeral director provides for the family: e.g. coffins, caskets, memorial books, urns)
  • Funeral Disbursements (these are other people and organisations that we deal with to carry out the funeral: e.g. cemetery, crematorium, civil celebrant, newspaper, florist, doctor)
