Say goodbye the right way with the leading funeral directors in Sydney.

There are many funeral directors in Sydney but for over 30 years Southern Cross Funeral Directors have been one of the most trusted. We’re family-owned, accredited and we cover the whole region – from the Central Coast down to Wollongong, Campbelltown, and everywhere in between.

We know that losing a loved one is the worst of times – stress and grief in equal measure. You may still be struggling to come to terms with what’s happened and also carrying the burden of expectation that you’ll be the one to arrange everything and deal with everyone. The burden of responsibility is huge. We have witnessed how overwhelming that can be. Our business is founded on one simple premise – to make the process of dealing with a funeral service and everything that comes with that – easier for you.

We provide comfort and relieve stress. We fill in the gaps and take on the responsibility for our clients when their world has been turned upside down. We make the hard goodbyes easier. We’re around for you.

More About Us

Funeral Services we offer

Organising a funeral is not an easy task. The decision-making process is just another burden we want to take away from the start. The kind of service that’s required is often as unique as the person being laid to rest. We want those closest to feel that their loved one is being celebrated in a way that is truly representative of the individual, their values and their life. Here are Southern Cross Funeral services in Sydney

Burials

For burial services in Sydney you will need to decide on a coffin or casket, and the preferred location of the burial plot. If a burial plot hasn’t been previously purchased your cemetery of choice will need to be contacted and an appointment made to select a resting place for your loved one.

Cremations

Memorialising your loved one’s ashes is a meaningful way to honour their legacy. The entire cremation process is completed in a crematorium, starting from the initial phase to the final phase. The remains are then transferred to a sealed container. Many families choose to scatter ashes in a special location while others prefer to keep them in a family mausoleum.

In Home Funeral Arrangement

When a loved one passes away, it can be an incredibly challenging time for you and your family. We make the process of arranging a burial or cremation as easy as possible. Funeral directors in Sydney can visit your home to discuss the funeral arrangements or we can complete them over the phone or via video call if necessary.

Prepaid Funerals

A prepaid funeral services plan ensures that burial or cremation services are fully covered in the future, no matter what happens. It’s a thoughtful gift that offers peace of mind for you and your family. It also guarantees that your family will not overpay for your funeral arrangements in the future.

Funeral Prices

When planning a funeral, a question that always comes to mind is, “How much will it cost?”. We have outlined these costs for you outlining the “must haves” and the “if you would like” options. We can also show you some time-tested tips to help you save on your final expenses. We are here to help you have a clear understanding of all involved in organising a funeral so you can spend your time remembering that special person in your life.

What are prepaid funerals?

There comes a time in all our lives when we need to think about the future. And specifically, how we can insulate those we love from any emotional stress and financial burden. Prepaid funeral plans are the best way to show those we love that we want to continue to care for them – even after we’ve gone. Contemplating what happens after your death isn’t morbid, it’s caring and responsible. And it gives you the reassurance that your affairs are in order – whatever happens. Think of it as planning for the expected and the unexpected.
