Funeral director in Mardi

Yes. Mardi is looked after from our Tuggerah care centre at 1/5 Joule Place, Tuggerah NSW 2259, 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 Mardi often choose Palmdale Lawn Cemetery and Memorial Park (burial and cremation); Central Coast Council cemeteries. 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. Cremation is the most common choice for Mardi families. Our Simple Bare Essentials Cremation starts from $3,650 inc. GST and covers the transfer, the coffin, the cremation and a timber urn. You can hold a full service first, gather quietly beforehand, or choose no service at all.

Yes. We arrange burials as well as cremations for Mardi. Most local families use Palmdale Lawn Cemetery and Memorial Park; Central Coast Council cemeteries. Cemetery fees are set by the cemetery rather than by us, so we will get you the current figures in writing before you decide.

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 Mardi, 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 Wyong Hospital, Hamlyn Terrace and Gosford Hospital, and from nursing homes and private homes throughout Mardi. 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.

It usually takes about a week to ten days to hold a funeral in Mardi, which is the time needed for the medical certificates and the cremation or burial permit. Coroner’s cases take longer. Where a faith or a family tradition calls for a faster farewell, tell us straight away and we will work to it.

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 Tuggerah care centre to arrange a funeral. We are happy to sit down with you at home in Mardi 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 Mardi, 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.

Yes. We arrange prepaid funerals for Mardi 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.

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 Mardi is the person who sees it through on the day.
