Making memories since 1979
We have helped many Ipswich families celebrate the life and loss of their loved ones. For nearly half a century our funeral services have continued to remain compassionate, professional, and understanding.

When choosing cremation, most families will normally choose the closest crematorium available to them. Most crematoriums offer you a peaceful, tranquil setting in which to hold the funeral service.
Following the cremation there are a variety of memorialisation options available for the ashes of your loved one. There is no right or wrong ways to make a lasting memory.

When planning a cremation there are a number of things to consider:
01
If you have decided on a cremation let your funeral director know as soon as possible so they can contact the local crematorium to arrange the cremation date.
02
For many a viewing is important as it provides the opportunity to say last goodbyes to a loved one. This generally takes place at the funeral home prior to the cremation.
03
As with a burial you will need to decide on where to hold the service; the funeral home chapel, a church, the crematorium chapel or a place such as a garden or farm that was meaningful to your loved one.
04
Will there be a gathering of friends and family following the burial?
05
Do you need streaming of the service for relatives and friends who cannot attend in person? We can broadcast the service online, allowing those who can't physically be there to join in virtually and be a part of the memorial experience.
06
Selecting funeral music is a deeply personal choice, often reflecting the individual's unique tastes and experiences. Including favourite tracks or artists can be a meaningful way to celebrate their life and provide comfort to those in attendance, fostering a sense of connection and remembrance.
07
Would you like to create a digital photo tribute or slideshow during the service? Including cherished photos and moments can help attendees reminisce and find solace in the memories shared.
08
Considering a keepsake memento leaflet for the funeral service is a thoughtful addition, providing attendees with a tangible token to take home.
