Home Funerals Australia
Home funerals are permitted in each State and Territory of Australia.
Why would we have a funeral at home?
A family-led home funeral allows the time & space in which to care for your person and create ceremony and ritual at your own pace, in your own time and according to your needs.
A home funeral can be an empowering choice for many families.
Your level of participation in the home funeral is led by you and the aspects you are comfortable with and feel able to carry out.
You can be supported to be involved at all stages. Tasks such as:
Sourcing and decorating a coffin
Spending time with your person after their death
Washing and anointing the body
Dressing or shrouding the body
Crafting and hosting a funeral ceremony
Transportation of the body
Completing and lodging legal paperwork
Organising a cremation or burial
For comprehensive Home Funeral support please contact Jacqui at End of Life Transitions
For more information, please go to THE AUSTRALIAN HOME FUNERAL ALLIANCE, of which I am a proud member.

“Jo helped us through our grief in the most perfect ceremony for my Dad.
Our culture has been sorely missing this vital role she plays, in providing a beautiful end of life ceremony that is tailored to the family.
Dad wasn't religious, so Jo allowed us to have an incredibly meaningful ceremony that captured the essence of my Father. It gave us that essential element of closure and ceremony that the church normally provides.
I cannot thank her enough ❤” - Paula H
