Portuguese Funerals Marrickville
Portuguese funerals for Marrickville families, with your loved one kept close by at our Canterbury mortuary.
Caring for Marrickville’s Portuguese families
Marrickville is where much of Portuguese Sydney comes together. The Sydney Portugal Community Club hosts the community’s big celebrations and festivals, and the Portugal Madeira Social Sports Club on Denby Street has been a home for Madeiran families for generations.
Because so much of the community’s life happens here, a Marrickville funeral is often a large one, with relatives, club friends and neighbours who have known the family for decades. We plan for the numbers, the church, and the gathering afterwards, so everyone who wants to say goodbye can.
Marrickville é o ponto de encontro da comunidade portuguesa e madeirense. O seu ente querido fica perto, na nossa agência de Canterbury.
