A burial gives families a lasting place to visit, reflect and remember. Whether you prefer a traditional church service followed by interment, or a simple graveside farewell, we work with you to create a ceremony that truly reflects your loved one's life and values.

Your dedicated Funeral Support Manager stays with you through every decision and detail, from choosing the right cemetery to selecting readings, music and floral arrangements. You will never be passed between strangers or left to navigate the process alone.

Options Available

Types of burial services we offer

01

Traditional Church Service and Burial

A full funeral service held in a church or place of worship, followed by a procession to the cemetery for interment. This option is ideal for families who wish to honour religious traditions and provide a formal farewell.

We coordinate with your chosen clergy, assist with organising music and readings, and manage every logistical detail from the service to the graveside.

Graveside Service

A more intimate farewell held entirely at the cemetery. Family and friends gather at the gravesite for a meaningful ceremony before interment. Many families choose this option for its simplicity and closeness to nature.

We arrange seating, a marquee if needed, and coordinate with the cemetery to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.

Chapel Service and Burial

A service held in a dedicated funeral chapel before burial at a nearby cemetery. This is a popular choice for families who want a formal ceremony without the requirements of a specific place of worship.

Our partnered chapels across Sydney provide beautiful, well-equipped spaces that can accommodate both large gatherings and smaller, more private farewells.

Common Questions

Burial FAQs

How much does a burial cost in Sydney?

Burial costs vary depending on the cemetery, casket selection, and service type. We provide transparent, itemised quotes with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us for a personalised estimate tailored to your family's needs.

Can we choose which cemetery our loved one is buried in?

Yes. We work with all major cemeteries across Sydney and NSW. If your family has an existing plot or a preferred cemetery, we will coordinate everything directly with them. If you need help choosing, we can recommend options based on location, availability and budget.

Do you cater to specific religious or cultural traditions?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience with Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and non-denominational services. We respect and honour every tradition, ensuring customs and requirements are followed with care.

How soon after a death does a burial need to take place?

There is no strict legal timeframe in NSW, though most burials take place within 5 to 10 days. Some religious traditions require burial within 24 hours, and we are fully equipped to accommodate urgent timelines. We will guide you through what works best for your situation.

Can we view our loved one before the burial?

Yes. We offer private viewings for family members who wish to spend time with their loved one before the service. We prepare and present your loved one with care and dignity, and arrange viewings at a time that suits your family.

What is included in your burial service?

Our burial service includes collection and care of your loved one, all documentation, casket or coffin, flowers, hearse transport, funeral direction on the day, and coordination with the cemetery, clergy and any other suppliers. We provide a full itemised quote so there are no surprises.
