This package is similar to the Cremation package, but the cremation fee is replaced by the costs associated with the necessary chapel hire, extra staff, extra equipment and a more solid coffin with 6 handles. The package includes transfer from a public hospital or the Coroners Court, arrangement, legal documents, preparation and coffining, celebrant, real flowers, men and vehicles for a chapel and graveside service, and a certified copy of the death certificate.

This can all be completed online or by phone and fax/mail. An arranger can come to you (there may be an extra cost if further than 50 kilometers from the Melbourne CBD).

The burial fees depend on individual charges by the cemeteries, and depend on whether you need to purchase a grave, or just to inter in an existing family grave. They could be anywhere between a few hundred and several thousand dollars, and must be individually quoted.

* Transfers from a private house or nursing home adds $200 (after hours $400).

Double Service

Some priests and families have requested us to provide traditional Full Service funerals for them. It may not be our specialty, but many families have commented that our services are in no way inferior to those of the multinational corporations. We are quite capable of offering viewings and church services and family cars and the rest if required, and still come in at a much better price than the big chains with all their overheads.

This can all be completed online or by phone and fax/mail. An arranger can come to you (there may be an extra cost if further than 50 kilometers from the Melbourne CBD).

On one notable occasion a Catholic Priest was so impressed by the services he had seen us do, that when a distraught widow told him what the local Italian funeral specialists wanted her to pay for a fairly standard service, he asked us to quote her for exactly the same service, coffin and fittings. The widow was delighted when our bill was less than half what the other company wanted for exactly the same service.

* Transfers from a private house or nursing home adds $200 (after hours $400).

If you would like to compare our price for your preferred funeral, we are always happy to oblige.

If we genuinely don't think we are the best company for your needs, we will do our best to suggest a company that might fit them better.
