Before the service

Support and guidance as the funeral takes shape.

Get in touch

Call us any time, day or night. You’ll be put straight through to a caring funeral specialist who’ll start supporting you right away, starting with bringing your loved one into our care.

Meet with your funeral director

Visit our Bulli or Kembla Grange funeral home to meet with your dedicated funeral director, talk things through and start shaping the service together.

Personalise the service

Choose music, readings, flowers and other personal touches that reflect your loved one. Tell us what matters most, and we’ll help make it happen.

On the day

A steady presence, helping the service run to plan.

Overseeing the service

Your funeral director can greet guests and guide the service, or support a priest, celebrant, or other officiant.

Across all the details

Your funeral director knows the service plan inside and out and will manage the details on the day, so you don’t have to.

After the funeral

Ongoing support, when you need it – because grief doesn’t follow a timeline.

Grief services

If you need support, we can refer you to trusted grief and counselling services.

Kind words from families we’ve supported

Thank you Hansen and Cole.

The care and understanding of our heartache,  compassion, empathy and sympathy we received from Megan was absolutely amazing from our first visit preparing mums funeral service to the very end when we left. Megan thank you so much, you really made the whole process a little easier for us. Even the night mum passed and Hansen and Cole came to take mum away, they were amazing with the whole family.

Trevor W. August 2025

Good service, very thorough for accuracy and attention to detail.

Easy to accommodate any of our requests and followed up all outstanding issues quickly making the process of saying good bye to our mother and grandmother with sensitivity and compassion.

Marcus J. December 2025

They both made that extremely difficult situation a little easier for me.

In the most difficult time of my life I found Jess and Paul from Kembla Grange so very comforting and kind and compassionate and explained everything to myself and my family step by step when everything is so overwhelming at that point.
