The important role of
a Funeral Service
Funeral Services greatly assist us in coming to terms with the reality of the loss of a loved one. It gives us the designated opportunity to remember the person that has passed and share with others in their memory. It is a time to help each other in our hurt and grief. To openly express our sincere feelings, thoughts and condolences. A Funeral Service is also the unique reflection of our loved ones life. Our staff will work with you in creating a Funeral Service that is befitting of your loved ones memory. In order to commence a funeral service in Sydney you are welcome to visit us in our serene family lounge, or we can come to you in the comfort of your chosen location.
Coffins
The coffin selected for a loved ones final resting space is a very personal choice. Some people would like something simple, while others would like a design that is more intricate. For some people the choice is based on lowering the impact on the environment. For these reasons we have a wide variety of coffin styles, in many colours and finishes, and at differing price points to suit all budgets.
Urns
Selecting a cremation urn for a loved one is a very sensitive choice to make. For most people the cremation urn that will house the ashes of their loved one will be honourably and lovingly on display in their home, and it should be a unique reflection of their loved one. We have carefully selected a beautiful range of Cremation Urns in various mediums such as wood, brass, aluminium and ceramic. Our Australian made urns are handcrafted and exclusively designed for Sincere Funerals.
Flowers
Flowers are one of the main focal points at a funeral service. They assist in creating a beautiful, soothing atmosphere. The look and quality of the flowers is of upmost importance, as the memory of them remains in the minds of those that attended the funeral service, especially for the bereaved family. Our floral selection for funeral arrangements is endless. In collaboration with some of Sydney's best high end florists, we strive to give our clients the most stunning floral arrangements to meet their wishes.
