Every person has their own unique qualities that make them special. When a loved one passes away, it’s those very attributes we miss the most. At Blessed Funerals, we dedicate ourselves to helping families preserve legacies through customised funerals.

We offer a compassionate, tailored approach that ensures every aspect of each farewell reflects the individual, captures their essence and honours their life. Our priority is to provide as much comfort and solace as we can during what is a complex and challenging time for grieving families.

A bespoke service for an individual journey

There is no easy way to say goodbye to someone who meant the world to you, but you can make it a meaningful occasion by celebrating their personality and values. At Blessed Funerals, we offer a range of funeral types and services, and they can all be personalised to your needs and budget.

Whether you choose cremation or burial, require repatriation services, or hold special cultural beliefs or heritage, we are here to assist you in creating an unforgettable tribute.

Our team has extensive experience working with families from all backgrounds, and we embrace the richness and diversity this brings to every service.

Our customised funerals can be completely secular or deeply religious, and we have extensive experience with all Christian services, including Catholic services, all Protestant denominations and Greek Orthodox, and Hindu and Muslim services.

We also specialise in cultural funerals, including Croatian funerals, Italian funerals and Chaldean funerals.

Attention to detail with care and compassion

When planning a funeral, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. But we are here for you every step of the way. Our experienced funeral directors will sit with you and listen attentively. We want to learn about your loved one, their life, their wishes and how you envision their perfect farewell.

Following this discussion, we take care of everything, so you have time and space to grieve.

This includes transporting your loved one, arranging the funeral service location, coordinating with the celebrant or clergy, making burial or cremation arrangements and handling all necessary legal notices.

And by everything, we mean all the small things too, from organising the order of service to ordering the flowers, music and invitations and producing a memorial slideshow.

Finding closure

Customised funerals give families a sense of closure that surpasses what a standardised, ordinary service can offer. By honouring a person’s beliefs, personality, heritage and values, we can provide comfort and healing. We can celebrate the power of human connection.

A personalised service allows mourners to actively participate in the process, giving them an opportunity to express and process their emotions better and find support among those experiencing the same sense of loss.

Although a funeral is inevitably a solemn event, a personalised service fosters a sense of gratitude and closure and allows families to engage in positive reflection while cherishing the moments of joy along the journey.

As an independent, family-owned funeral home, we are not bound by the rules and stipulations you might find elsewhere. If your vision for a customised funeral is within the boundaries of the law, we will make it happen.

When choosing Blessed Funerals, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by our range of services, our creativity and organisational skills, our prepaid funeral plans, locations, and most of all, our experience in providing memorable, compassionate and dignified funerals.

We are open 7 days a week, and you can contact us 24 hours a day. Let us take care of your loved one.

Professional and easy to work with. They also conducted my nona’s funeral service, which was conducted beautifully.

John Dorian

Tony answered our call came to my parents’ house as promised. He sat down with my family and had a checklist of what needed to be done and he guided my family through this difficult time. Tony was available within seconds and never left our sides until the end of the service. My family and I cannot thank Tony and his team enough for the way in which he and his staff handled a very tragic and difficult time for us.
