What does a funeral cost?

As each family is different, each funeral service is also different so the question of cost is difficult to answer. Your decisions regarding the multitude of choices available (see the headings under Funeral Options) and the extent of services provided, will determine the final account. Our starting prices are in the middle of the range, but we represent value for cost .The following costs are estimates only, for an accurate quote please contact Tony Hollands Funerals on 07 3392 9919 or use the various forms on this website. 

 

 

Approximate starting prices for full funeral services are using Centenary Memorial Gardens:

 

  • Burial with a funeral service in a church or chapel: $8,747.00 (using an existing grave):  $11,243.50 (new grave)(estimate)
  • Cremation with a funeral service in a church or chapel: $7,212.00 (estimate)

 

A significant way to reduce the costs is to have an unattended burial or cremation. In this case, Tony Hollands Funerals will complete the necessary paperwork and transport the deceased to the cemetery or crematorium without mourners in attendance. Conditions apply and any changes will result in additional costs.

 

Approximate starting prices for unattended services are:

 

  • Burial: $5,288.00 (using an existing grave):  $8,022.00 (new grave)(estimate)
  • Cremation: $1,980.00  (see Budget Cremation)

 

Whether the funeral is simple or elaborate, Tony Hollands Funerals will accommodate any reasonable request.

Why are other funeral directors cheaper?

Other funeral directors can be cheaper due to the following reasons: 

 

  • No physical business address -  Always ask if your funeral director has their own premises and can you visit them there.
  • Outsourcing to other holding facilities or mortuaries -  Who is responsible for maintaining quality and standards?
  • Lower facility or service standards than those at Tony Hollands Funerals 
  • Prices may not include necessary items
  • Initial prices may not include GST

 

If you are at another Funeral Directors location and the funeral arranger asks "how much do you think the funeral will cost" before arranging, RUN A MILE!! If this is asked the arranger will know your budget. This may allow for upselling to reach that target not saving you money.


In any case, the old saying applies - " The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten! "
