Funeral Director Lawson

Yes. Lawson is looked after from our Blacktown care centre at 10 Jane Street, Blacktown NSW 2148, and we are always happy to come to your home instead. You can call us 24 hours a day on 02 9676 2561.

Families in Lawson often choose Blue Mountains City Council cemeteries, including Katoomba, Wentworth Falls and Springwood. We will talk you through the options and costs for each.

Our Simple Bare Essentials Cremation starts from $3,650 and our Simple Bare Essentials Funeral, held in our Blacktown chapel or at the Royal Remembrance Chapel in St Marys, starts from $6,195 (both inc. GST). We will give you a written quote for anything else.

Yes. Cremations for Lawson families start from $3,650 inc. GST with our Simple Bare Essentials Cremation. Some families hold a full chapel service first, others prefer a quiet cremation with no attendance. Both are fine, and we will explain exactly what each one costs.

Yes. Burials for Lawson families usually take place at Blue Mountains City Council cemeteries, including Katoomba, Wentworth Falls and Springwood. We will check what is available in the section you want, handle the grave purchase and the interment booking, and give you a written quote before anything is confirmed.

Wherever suits your family. We have our own chapel at our Blacktown care centre, and we also hold services at the Royal Remembrance Chapel in St Marys, at local churches in and around Lawson, at the graveside, at a club or hall, or at home. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.

Yes, at any hour. We regularly bring people into our care from Blue Mountains District ANZAC Memorial Hospital, Katoomba and Springwood Hospital, and from nursing homes and private homes throughout Lawson. Call us and we will liaise with the ward, the nursing staff or the doctor so you do not have to make those calls yourself.

Most Lawson funerals are held about a week to ten days after the death, because the doctor’s paperwork and the cremation or burial permit have to be completed first. If the Coroner is involved it can take longer. If you need it sooner for religious or cultural reasons, say so on the first call and we will do everything we can.

Yes. We look after Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Māori and Portuguese families, as well as services for every major faith. That can mean several days of gatherings, a viewing at home, a church service with a large choir, or particular customs around washing and dressing. Tell us what your family needs and we will plan around it.

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

Yes. Plenty of Lawson families sit down with us years ahead to write down what they want: burial or cremation, the music, the readings, who should be called. There is no cost and no obligation to record your wishes, and it spares your family from guessing later. You can pay for it in advance as well if you would like to.

Yes. A prepaid funeral lets you choose and pay for your funeral at today’s prices, so the cost is settled and your family is not left with the bill. Your money is paid into an approved pre-paid funeral fund and held in trust, as NSW law requires, and you will have the full details and the price in writing before you commit to anything. Call us on 02 9676 2561 and we will explain how it works for your family.

Ask for pricing in writing before you commit, ask who will actually look after your loved one, and ask whether you will deal with the same person the whole way through. At Harmony Funerals you deal with a small team, our prices are published, and Josh has spent over 15 years in the funeral industry.
