Funeral director in Beverly Hills


Until the 1930s this part of the St George area was called Dumbleton, after a local farm from around 1830. Residents disliked the name and lobbied for a change to coincide with the East Hills railway line opening on 31 December 1931, and they settled on Beverly Hills, borrowing from the famous Californian address.

It sits 15 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, split between Georges River Council and the City of Canterbury-Bankstown. Many homes are post-war red brick bungalows, some with late Art Deco touches, and Beverly Hills railway station is heritage listed.

Beverly Hills is looked after from our Canterbury care centre at 51-53 Canterbury Road. We can come to your home to arrange a funeral, and services can be held in our Blacktown chapel, a local church, graveside or at home.
