Funeral Costs

Whether you are organising a funeral because someone has passed away or you want to plan ahead, you can choose either:

Working out what is best for you, and how much it will cost, can be a daunting task. We have gathered information to help navigate the process so that you can be comfortable with your decision.

The two biggest differences between one funeral company and another are:

  • the inclusions and exclusions in funeral directors’ charges and packages
  • whether third party charges are marked-up or provided at-cost

At Frank J Siebert Funeral Directors we provide written schedules with full disclosure of inclusions, and all third party goods and services are provided at-cost.

Please call us on 8223 5879 anytime for an obligation-free conversation about your particular needs.

Our staff are ready to take your call to give you a verbal quotation, with a written quotation emailed or posted to you as soon as possible. During the week you can expect it on the same day!

What are Fixed Funeral Packages?

Fixed Funeral Packages are combinations of the most commonly selected services and items coupled together to offer the best economy. We offer a series of packages from no service cremations or burials, small family gatherings, witness of charge services and small, medium and large services in established funeral chapels.

Personalised service experiences can easily be created within these packages even though the components are fixed.

What are Customised Funeral Services

Itemised Funeral Services are when a client chooses every aspect of the funeral service. The final cost depends on those choices and will include a funeral directors’ Service Charge and all third party charges (disbursements).

Testimonials

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you did for me and my family in helping us say goodbye to Dad. We have a big crazy Italian family and managing all our emotions is not always an easy task. You have an empathy and a sense of compassion that is truly comforting during a very difficult time.

Diane. June 2023.

Thank you for yesterday, it was a beautiful service. We have just looked at the Memorial Book and its absolutely beautiful - we love it. Memories we will never forget.

Toni. June 2023.

I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you so very much for everything you did for my family over the last couple of weeks. I'm so very glad that we decided to go with your firm. From the very first phone call with you, I felt cared for, and I know my Nanny felt the same way when she met you. Everything was perfect. Granddad would have been so proud of us and how we were able to still find laughter on the day, which is a testament to how comfortable we felt in the space.

Thank you so much for yesterday's lovely service to farewell Barb. I think that it went off really well and it was so nice to see her relatives there and old friends. The setting was beautiful - it could not have been better as Partridge House is directly across from where Barb spent all her school years at Woodlands Girls Grammar - now St Peter's. I am sure that Barb would heartily have approved everything we were able to do for her. Wendy, Marlene, Andrea and I met afterwards in the Holdfast Hotel for one glass of prosecco to toast happy memories of our fun times we had with Barb over many years. Again thanks to you (Fiona Talbot-Leigh - Celebrant), Peter, his mother and the other staff for a fitting farewell to a dear friend.

Be very proud that you are maintaining a very fine family tradition on the highest order. We will not hesitate in recommending your company and staff very highly indeed. With very good wishes and sincere thanks.
