Frequently Asked Questions

Why are your charges so much cheaper than your competitors?

We don't depend on making a large profit from a few funerals, preferring to perform many funerals at a lower profit margin each. We're privately owned & staffed, no big overheads, no Corporate masters to please.

Are your funerals of a reasonable standard?

Our funerals are at  least at the same standard of more expensive funeral directors - quality staff, quality free celebrants, quality vehicles, quality supplied coffin, free quality memoriam book.

Can we expect to be slugged with hidden charges after the funeral

Never!! You're told the whole story each step of the way & you're only charged the amount that you & we agree upon at the funeral arrangement (which is as per our website prices).

When did your business commence?

1968.
