25.01.2022 Important Update - COVID-19 The Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made an announcement following tonight’s Cabinet meeting which includes further restrictions for funeral services in Australia. These measures will take place from midnight Wednesday 25 March. There will be no changes for any services to be conducted on Wednesday 25 March and we will provide a further update here for services from Thursday 26 March onwards. We appreciate this is a challenging time for everyone ...and we thank you for your understanding as we continue to adapt our services to these changes. The health, safety and wellbeing of our team and the families we serve is of the utmost importance to us. We have been providing funeral and memorial services to Australians for many decades and will always put our client families at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to helping families farewell their loved ones respectfully and within the current and relevant Government advice and regulations.

24.01.2022 From fire to floods and then the isolation we have faced with COVID-19, this year has been like no other.
