Burials

Serenity Family Funerals offers a full range of burial funerals in Sydney and on the Central Coast. Deborah George, our funeral director, will personally help you arrange a burial funeral service that farewells and honours your beloved family member.

The main choice with a burial funeral is whether to have one or two services:

One Service Funeral (Graveside Service)

Graveside Funeral: Some families chose to omit the service at a church or chapel and to only have the committal service. This simplifies things and reduces costs slightly. In case of bad weather a shelter can be erected at the graveside.

Two Service Funeral

(Funeral + Graveside Service)

The traditional burial funeral structure is to hold the main service at either a church or a chapel, and then immediately afterwards, to hold a second, smaller service, known as a committal service, at the graveside. The family can choose whether to have a public committal service or to restrict it to only the closest family and friends.

How Much Does A Burial Funeral Cost?

In Sydney, the main part of the cost of a burial funeral is the cost of the burial plot itself, which must be paid to the cemetery. The average cost of a burial plot in Sydney is over $9000, which is more than the rest of the funeral costs. The price will vary depending on whether you chose a one or two service funeral because venue hire and hearse costs will differ.
