  • What kind of funerals do you offer?
    Cremation - Cremations are carried out by a reputable crematorium who follow the guidelines set by NSW government. Loved ones receive the ashes as a final step which can be stored or scattered, depending on the families wishes. Burial - A burial is a funeral option where the deceased is placed into the ground as their final resting place. Burials hold a special place in many cultures. They are a way to honour and preserve the memories of those who have passed. A burial can be done in conjunction with a funeral ceremony or as a standalone service held at graveside. Memorial - A memorial service can be many things. It may or may not have the loved one who has past present. It is usually an event in a unique or special location to honour and remember the person who has passed. During the service people may say prayers, sing songs or deliver eulogies. Pre-paid - A pre-paid funeral plan is a service planned and paid for in advance. It is secured at today’s prices, which gives you total control over your funeral. Your funds are held independently of Picaluna/Funerals By Jodie Galloway and invested on your behalf. Choose to pay in a lump sum, or in fortnightly, monthly or quarterly instalments over a fixed period of time.
