WHAT QUESTIONS WILL THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR ASK US?
The first important question we will ask, is whether you require a Burial or a Cremation Service. (The reason we need to know this is because our documentation differs when having a Cremation Service).

Your Funeral Director will also ask whether you are having a Religious Service or Non Religious Service and on your behalf, will arrange an appropriate Priest, Minister or Celebrant. We will discuss Floral Tributes, Music, Newspaper Notices and the type and style of Coffin or Casket requested. We will also arrange any Centrelink or DVA benefits and arrange any Hire Cars if necessary.
Most importantly we will gently walk you through every aspect of the Funeral Service and answer any questions that you may have.
