Funeral director in Yennora


Yennora is an Aboriginal word meaning walking or to stroll, and the Dharug people have lived in the Fairfield area for over 30,000 years. The railway siding given the name Yennora was built in 1927. Much of the suburb is taken up by the 300,000 square metre Yennora Distribution Centre, opened in June 1971 as the Yennora Wool Centre, while Prospect Creek forms its border with Fairfield.

Yennora is 29 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, mostly in the City of Fairfield.

We care for Yennora families from our Blacktown care centre at 10 Jane Street, 24/7.

How soon can a funeral be held in Yennora?

Most Yennora 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. Plenty of Yennora 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.

Do you offer prepaid funerals in Yennora?
