Tell us what your family needs and we will plan around it.

Can a funeral director come to our home in Engadine?

Yes. You do not have to come to our Canterbury care centre to arrange a funeral. We are happy to sit down with you at home in Engadine at a time that suits, bring everything we need with us, and take the arrangements away with us when we leave.

Yes, and it is one of the kindest things you can do for your family. We will go through the choices with you at our care centre or at home in Engadine, write your wishes down and keep them on file, so that when the day comes nobody has to guess what you would have wanted. Prepaying is optional.

Do you offer prepaid funerals in Engadine?

Yes. We arrange prepaid funerals for Engadine families, which fixes the cost at today’s prices and takes the financial worry off your loved ones. You choose exactly what you want, we set it out in writing, and the money goes into an approved pre-paid funeral fund rather than our own account, as NSW law requires. Ring 02 9676 2561 for a plain-English explanation.

What should we look for in a funeral director in Engadine?

Look for published prices, a written quote, and a funeral director who answers the phone themselves at two in the morning. We publish what our packages cost, we put everything in writing, and the person who arranges your loved one’s funeral in Engadine is the person who sees it through on the day.
