The service includes chapel of rest access and flexible timing at multiple crematorium locations. Families receive continuous support from initial planning through to final ceremonies with options for religious or non-religious observances.
Burial Service
Full burial arrangements incorporating cemetery plot coordination, transportation, and officiant services. The package includes traditional coffin provision and chapel of rest access. Our team manages all logistical aspects while accommodating specific cultural or religious requirements. Pricing varies based on location-specific cemetery regulations and residency status.
Chapel of Rest
Private visitation space allowing families to spend time with their loved one before services. The facility provides a peaceful environment for reflection and farewell rituals. Includes one complimentary visit during standard hours with additional access available by arrangement. This service supports meaningful closure through personal connection with the deceased.

Stuart and the team at the affordable funeral company did my nannas funeral in 2018. So when my great aunt passed away there was no deliberation as to who we would choose. Again from the start Stuart was so kind and helpful keeping us up to date with all plans and information. On the day of the funeral they are so respectful to the deceased and checking with the family at all times to ensure we are ok. I would highly recommend this company and I definitely will use them again if/when the time comes. Thank you for making this hard time the best it can be.

We highly recommend The Affordable Funeral Company. Stuart and his team helped us every step of the way with a great deal of dignity and respect. Stuart was always more than helpful and explained everything to us along the way. We cant fault his helpfulness from beginning to end at the sad loss of our beloved husband and dad.
