22.01.2022 With the ever changing climate that we are currently in, it is important to remember we are still able to mourn the loss of a loved one with a funeral service. On Sunday 29th March, the Australian Government announced that a person must not participate in a gathering in a public place of more than two persons; however this DOES NOT apply to funerals. We at Joseph Medcalf are continuing to conduct funeral services for up to 10 persons. ... We understand how difficult it is planning a funeral service and how much impact these added restrictions have. However having a meaningful funeral service is still an important part of the grieving process and we are here to support you through this. Our Garden Chapel located at our Eastern Suburbs Branch has full live streaming and recording capabilities, which we provide to our families at no extra cost. Our good friends at The Funeral Videographer can also stream, record and photograph the entire funeral service as an everlasting keepsake for the family. If you have any questions please contact our office on (02) 9694 9494 so we can assist further.

20.01.2022 Meet The Team - Cody, General Manager Cody fell in to the funeral industry by sheer accident and luck when a good friend of his was working at Joseph Medcalf and offered him a casual position. 10 years later after a long winded history starting his journey as a funeral director, Cody then graduated to a funeral arranger and is now the manager of our successful and thriving business. Initially aspiring to join the Australian Federal Police with the degree that he had studied, ...Cody took great pleasure and responsibility in servicing the same community that he hails from, which has been the driving factor keeping him in the funeral industry. A staunch Rabbitohs supporter given his old man Gary was a inaugural Origin representative, if youre ever trying to persuade Cody, he has a hard time turning down a good single malt whiskey. #josephmedcalffunerals See more
