A Funeral During COVID-19

The health and safety of our client families, community, staff and stakeholders is our highest priority and concern.
During this time of uncertainty, we are committed to this standard.

As we closely monitor this situation daily via the Government Health Department and with the support of the Australian Funeral Directors Association (AFDA) the implementing of safeguards based on recommendations will continue to occur throughout our company.

Throughout our funeral homes we have made available multiple hand sanitiser stations, QR codes and information to ensure our environments remain safe for our communities. We will also provide these stations at funerals conducted outside our facilities.

We appreciate your understanding at this time of uncertainty. Our staff, together with the families we care for, are doing our very best.
