Compassionate Care for Families on the Northern Beaches
The Northern Beaches has a relaxed coastal lifestyle with beautiful beaches, easy access to the bush, and a strong sense of community.
Marc has seen the Northern Beaches from the Central Coast many times. While those who know the Manly ferry may have their own favourite, he finds the ferry from the Central Coast to Palm Beach just as special in its own way. He has taken this ferry to meet families – a beautiful crossing before an important moment.
Before founding Marc and Friends, Marc had the privilege of caring for families in and around the Northern Beaches at various times since 2004. Over the years, he has supported families in and around Allambie Heights, Balgowlah, Brookvale, Collaroy, Davidson, Dee Why, Frenchs Forest, Manly, Mona Vale, Newport, North Narrabeen, Seaforth, Warriewood and other areas of the Beaches.
Cremation-Only with Personal Touches (also known as Direct Cremation)
Most families we have cared for opt for cremation in South-Western Sydney, with the ashes returned to you on the North Shore. This is by far the most cost-effective option. However, some families prefer a cremation at Macquarie Park or Northern Suburbs crematoriums, respectively and for an additional fee.

Funeral at a Crematorium
One option on the Northern Beaches that many families may not be aware of is a chapel service in the Lorikeet Room at Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery. This beautiful, intimate chapel accommodates up to 80 people, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, bringing in plenty of natural light. After the service, the space can be rearranged for refreshments if needed. The cremation itself takes place off-site at Macquarie Park.

Funeral at a Church
Followed by a Cremation
Families who wish to hold a funeral at a church before a cremation typically choose for the cremation to take place later, unattended. The cremation itself usually occurs in South-Western Sydney, though it can also be arranged at Macquarie Park Crematorium or Northern Suburbs Crematorium, or another location for an additional fee.

Followed by a Burial
For families arranging a burial at Macquarie Park Cemetery, Manly Cemetery or Mona Vale Cemetery or another cemetery, it may be convenient to arrange a function at the cemetery afterward.
