How we work with your church and family
We work with your family and your church from the first phone call. Your Funeral Arranger plans the service with you and liaises with your minister, the florist, the cemetery or crematorium, the newspaper and the caterers, and our team runs everything on the day.
Timing and viewings
A one-hour viewing in our Blacktown chapel is included on weekdays, and after-hours weekday viewings in the chapel are included too. A weekend viewing in the chapel is $550, and a viewing of up to three hours at your church or another venue is $1,995.
