Help with Funeral Costs

We believe a funeral is a service before it’s a business.
Most families choose our standard fees. Their choice makes it possible for us to offer Funeral Cost Support to families facing financial hardship. We cannot sustain these lower prices without that support.
Our prices in such cases are likely among the lowest families will find, with a cremation-only starting from less than $2,000.
Sometimes we've offered help before a family even asked, simply because they told us their circumstances.
Essential care and genuine dignity
These services are simpler than our standard offering – focused on respectful arrangements rather than personalized touches and after care.
Families can arrange additional items privately, such as flowers or printed orders of service.
We discount our service fee by up to 50% in some circumstances. For a funeral, we offer a simple but dignified coffin that is about half the price of a standard coffin. For a cremation, a basic urn is included.
If there is still a shortfall, there are options for raising additional funds. If covering any cost is not possible, please see here.
Call us to discuss — day or night, on 1300 136 473.
If you have no means at all
If you’re unable to cover any costs, you may not be eligible for Funeral Cost Support with us. However, alternatives are available. In NSW, this is normally known as a Destitute Funeral. In the ACT, a similar arrangement exists known as Funeral Assistance.
This page is for families facing hardship. If you are seeking our standard fees and options, please see here. Whatever your circumstances, every family is cared for with the same dignity and compassion.
