Chinese Funerals Chatswood


Chinese funerals for Chatswood families, with Mandarin and Cantonese support and services across the North Shore.

Chatswood and its Chinese community

Caring for Chatswood’s Chinese families


Chatswood is the heart of the North Shore’s Chinese community. Around Victoria Avenue and the Chatswood Interchange, Chinese restaurants, bakeries and businesses sit alongside the big shopping centres, and a large share of local residents have Chinese ancestry.

Chatswood’s families come from Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China and Malaysia, and include many professionals and their parents, who often live with them. We understand that the elders’ wishes come first, and plan the service, date and burial or cremation with the whole family.
