Types Of Funeral Services
When arranging a funeral service, one the main decisions you’ll make is whether to have a burial or a cremation. A burial funeral service costs about the same as a cremation service does. However, the total cost of a burial funeral will be much higher than of a cremation because you also need to buy a burial plot from the cemetery, which costs over $10000 in Northern Sydney (much cheaper on the Central Coast at about $3500).A cremation without any ceremony (also known as an unattended cremation or a direct cremation) is the cheapest funeral option. The ashes of your loved one will be given to you, and you can arrange to have a private memorial service at a later date.Burial Funerals
About 40% of funerals are traditional burial funerals, and some religions still require burial instead of cremation. There are two types of burial services: The first is a service in a church, chapel or other place, which is followed by a short service at the graveside; the second type consists of only a longer graveside service.Prepaid Funerals
By prepaying your funeral costs, you lock in the price, and that saves your family a significant amount of money. Another option is to pre-arrange your funeral, but not to prepay for it. This means you’re guaranteed of the send-off you want, without giving your family the stress of organizing it.Cremation Funerals
Cremation is, not only the most affordable funeral option, it is also the most commonly chosen option in Sydney. We can organize for the cremation to take place on the same day, if needed. Debbie, our funeral director, will organize a service that meets your needs, whether it’s a basic service or something a bit more elaborate.Our Funeral Director & Team

What is not included in the price of a funeral package?
Cremation Memorial Location:
The cost of our cremation funeral packages doesn’t cover the cost of buying a resting place for ashes in a memorial park. In the northern suburbs of Sydney, a wall niche costs upwards of $2500, and an in-ground memorial costs at least $4000, Central Coast prices are a little cheaper. Some people choose to keep their loved-one’s ashes in an urn at their home. Another option is to scatter the ashes at an appropriate place.
Burial Plot:
Our burial packages don’t include the cost of a cemetery burial plot. You need to buy a burial plot directly from the cemetery. The cost of a burial plot in northern Sydney is usually over $10,000, and the cost in a Central Coast cemetery is at least $3,400.
