You may also wish to include a photo or video tribute to celebrate the life of the deceased or incorporate special mementos or items that were meaningful to them. Our compassionate funeral directors will guide you through the process, providing suggestions and support to help you create a memorable and meaningful funeral service in Sydney.

  • Do you offer pre-planning services?

    Yes, we do offer pre-planning services at Timeless Funerals. Pre-planning a funeral can provide invaluable peace of mind for both you and your family, knowing your wishes will be carried out and that the burden of decision-making during a difficult time will be eased. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, discussing your preferences and helping you create a personalised plan for your funeral service.

  • How do I choose my coffin or urn?

    At Timeless Funerals, we offer a wide range of coffin and urn options to suit your needs and preferences. When selecting a coffin or urn, there are several factors to consider, such as your budget, personal taste and any specific cultural or religious requirements.


    To choose the most suitable coffin or urn, start by browsing our selection of options, which includes a variety of styles, materials and designs. Our experienced funeral directors will guide you through our collection, providing information on each option and helping you to make an informed decision based on your unique requirements.


    It’s essential to think about what you or your loved one would have wanted in terms of the appearance and materials of the coffin or urn. Some people prefer traditional wood or metal options, while others may be drawn to more contemporary designs, such as eco-friendly materials or personalised elements.


    When selecting a coffin, consider the size, shape and any additional features that may be important to you, such as handles, linings, or embellishments. In addition, you might want to think about whether the coffin will be used for a viewing or open-casket service, as this may influence your choice.


    When choosing an urn, consider the intended purpose of the urn, such as whether it will be used for display, burial, or scattering of ashes. This can help guide your decision in terms of size, material and style. Some families prefer to keep the ashes in a decorative urn at home, while others may choose a biodegradable urn for an eco-friendlier option, or an urn designed specifically for scattering.


    It’s also a good idea to discuss your choice of coffin or urn with your family members to ensure everyone is comfortable with the decision and that it reflects the wishes and preferences of both the deceased and the loved ones left behind.


    At Timeless Funerals, our compassionate funeral directors are committed to supporting you throughout the process of choosing a coffin or urn, providing guidance, advice and empathy to ensure your selection aligns with your preferences and budget. We understand this is a deeply personal decision and we are here to help make it as smooth and stress-free as possible during this challenging time.

  • How long does a funeral arrangement meeting take?

    A funeral arrangement meeting typically lasts for about one to two hours. This duration allows families to discuss their needs and preferences comprehensively, ensuring the funeral service is tailored to their wishes. The meeting's length can vary depending on the complexity of the arrangements and the number of decisions to be made.

  • What happens at an arrangement meeting?

    During an arrangement meeting, families meet with a funeral director to plan the details of the funeral service. This includes discussing the type of service desired, choosing a coffin or casket, arranging the venue, deciding on music and considering any personal touches that can make the service more meaningful. The funeral director will guide the family through the process, offering advice and support to ensure all aspects of the service are covered.

  • What do I need to bring to an arrangement meeting?

    When attending an arrangement meeting, it's helpful to bring any pre-planned funeral wishes, a photo for the service sheet, clothing for the deceased and important documents. These may include the birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable) and any pre-paid funeral plan details. These items will assist the funeral director in personalising the service and completing the necessary paperwork.

  • Can I attend an arrangement meeting via video call?

    Yes, attending an arrangement meeting via video call is an option for those who cannot be present in person. This allows families to participate in the planning process from any location, ensuring all involved can contribute to the arrangements despite geographical constraints.

  • Should children attend a funeral?

    Whether children should attend a funeral depends on the child's age, maturity level and relationship to the deceased. It can be an opportunity for them to say goodbye and begin processing their grief. However, it's important to prepare them for what to expect and offer support throughout the experience.

  • What is mortuary preparation?

    Mortuary preparation involves the care and presentation of the body before the funeral. This can include washing, disinfecting and dressing to ensure the deceased looks peaceful and dignified. The extent of preparation depends on the family's wishes and whether there will be a viewing.

  • Must I have a coffin?

    While a coffin is traditionally used in funerals, alternatives such as shrouds or biodegradable caskets are sometimes acceptable. It's important for individuals considering alternatives to a traditional coffin to consult with their funeral service provider and the facility where the burial or cremation will take place. They can offer guidance on what is permissible under their policies. 

  • Do I have to have a funeral?

    There is no legal requirement to hold a funeral. Some families choose direct cremation or burial without a service, possibly followed by a memorial at a later date. The decision should reflect the wishes of the deceased and the needs of the family.

  • Is there any financial assistance offered by government departments and organisations for funerals?

    In New South Wales, if you or the deceased's estate cannot afford funeral expenses, the state government offers a 'destitute funeral' option. This service covers the cost of a basic funeral for those without financial means or assets. For more information, contact our team.

  • What is a death certificate?

    A death certificate is an official document issued by the government that records the date, location and cause of a person's death. It is a crucial document for legal and administrative purposes, such as settling the deceased's estate and accessing benefits.

  • Who issues a death certificate?

    The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in the state or territory where the death occurred issues the death certificate. The process is initiated by the funeral director, who submits the necessary paperwork, including the medical cause of death provided by a doctor.

  • What is a funeral viewing?

    A funeral viewing is a time before the funeral service when family and friends can see the deceased. It offers a chance to say personal goodbyes and can be a helpful part of the grieving process. Whether to have a viewing is a personal choice and can be discussed during the funeral arrangement meeting.

  • Are funerals held on the weekend?

    Yes, funerals can be held on the weekend, although availability may vary depending on the venue and the funeral service provider. Weekend services might accommodate those who cannot attend during the week, but it's important to discuss this with the funeral director to understand any potential implications for scheduling and costs.
