Cost Estimator
We provide an estimation guide as every person is unique and therefore loved ones choose different options, locations and timing to farewell their person. We are happy to offer you a breakdown of costs should you like a quote.
Below is our standard pricing estimation guide. This is based on the suppliers we use in Sydney.
​
Rather than offering a 'package' that often restricts what the inclusions are, we offer you choice. If something is not required, then we simply take it out. Or if there is something you want added, we can simply add it in. Of course, depending on your choice, these prices can change*.
​
Like most independents, some of our services we use are outsourced, as this keeps our cost down to a minimum, which can save you thousands of dollars.
​
Please note that invoices are required to be settled in full prior to the funeral date, as we process payments to our suppliers and vendors upon delivery. Your understanding and acknowledgement of this is much appreciated.
​
*Prices are valid until 30th June 2024
