Funeral Arrangements in Newcastle and NSW

Funeral arrangements in Newcastle and across New South Wales. When planning a funeral service, there are several important decisions to make to ensure the day is a true reflection of your loved one’s life and wishes. Our caring funeral arrangers in Newcastle and throughout NSW are here to support you at every step with compassion, guidance, and understanding.

Some key points to consider before your funeral arrangement meeting include:

  • Honour and recognise the life of a loved one
  • Location and timing – Where and when would you like the funeral service to be held?
  • Viewings – Would you like a private viewing to say a final goodbye, and what clothing would you like your loved one to wear?
  • Celebrant or clergy – Is there a particular celebrant, priest, or minister you would like to lead the service?
  • Service type – Would you prefer an attended or unattended service? Burial or cremation? Each option is a personal choice, and we are here to support whatever feels right for you.
  • Personal touches – Consider the qualities, memories, or milestones that best defined your loved one and how these may be reflected during the service
