Burial Options
BURIAL OPTIONS / PRICE LIST
In Australia, families have several burial options depending on cultural, religious, environmental, and personal preferences. Here’s a clear summary of the main choices:
Traditional Burial Service
A full funeral service held at a church, funeral chapel, or graveside, designed to honour and celebrate the life of your loved one. The service includes readings, prayers, eulogies, and music, followed by a burial at your chosen Melbourne cemetery or location.
Graveside Burial Service
A simpler graveside service where all aspects of the farewell take place at the cemetery burial site. This is a popular choice for families seeking a private burial service or a more informal setting.
Memorial Service After Burial
In this option, the burial occurs privately, and a memorial service is held later at a venue such as a chapel, community hall, garden, or family home. This provides flexibility for families to plan a meaningful tribute without the coffin present.
Direct Burial / No Service
An affordable burial option where the burial takes place without a funeral service or attendees. This no-fuss option suits those who prefer privacy, simplicity, or wish to organise a memorial service at a later date.
