The most amazing service! Hazel could NOT have been more efficient, caring, prompt, helpful or lovely. I would enthusiastically recommend Windsor Funerals to everyone and will certainly request my family use them for my end of life situation.

Grace L.

When my mum passed away quite suddenly, having Windsor Funerals take care of everything and being so kind and helpful, made this period in my life so much less stressful while grieving. I wouldn’t have actually known what to do if they weren’t there to guide us through the process.

From the time I contacted Windsor Funerals to help me arrange for my daughters' funeral, I was supported and assisted by Rod, Lynn and Hazel. Their help was invaluable and the lounge setting made for a smaller family ceremony with her friends. Without their help I would have been lost.

The Russell Family

On behalf of my family, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the care and support you provided during the funerals of our loved ones this year. We have had the experience of working with your team on two occasions within 12 months for very close family members, and each time we have been deeply appreciative of your professionalism and compassion. Your attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our requests made a difficult time much easier to navigate. We were particularly impressed by how seamlessly everything was managed. With Hazel also stepping in as our Funeral Celebrant the process was made so much easier. The location of your facility, combined with its modern amenities, provides a warm and comforting space for families to gather. A special thank you to Hazel, whose leadership is clearly reflected in the quality of service delivered by the entire team. Thank you again for your thoughtful support and care.

Tina T.

Firstly I would like to thank you so much for the lovely send off for mum. It was simply the best and most fitting way for us all to spend time and farewell mum. You really have been an incredible support and we very much appreciate you going above and beyond.

FAQs about Funeral Services

What should I do when a family member or friend dies?

Give us a call as soon as possible. We will guide you through the immediate next steps.

How much does a funeral cost?

A funeral’s cost can vary considerably depending on preferences and needs. For example, will you have burial or cremation? Do you need flowers or service sheets provided? 

While we can’t give a one size fits all answer, we have created a cost estimator tool which can give you a rough idea of what you can expect. We have packages to suit different budgets and we will always tailor the farewell to your needs.

Can I choose my own funeral venue?

Absolutely. The place you choose can be very important for the memories you will take away. So, we will support you with whatever feels right for you and your family.

We can offer several venue types ranging in size and layout, so please ask us to help you to find the perfect location.

Is embalming necessary?

Embalming may be recommended if there are time delays, or if you would like extended time to be with your loved one before their final farewell. Time together can be either at our purpose built premises, with a room especially dedicated for use by family and friends, or in your own home. Our team will always discuss the options with you, enabling you to make a decision that is right for your circumstance.

Do I need a casket?

You can be cremated in either a casket or a shroud. A shroud is a cloth to wrap the body, which is then placed onto a wooden board or shroud bearer. All materials must be easy to burn. Some crematoriums request that a coffin is used, so it’s worth having a discussion with us as you explore your options.

Is the casket cremated?

Yes, the whole casket including the handles are cremated. We ensure that nothing is removed from a casket, unless requested by the family and no caskets are re-used.

Do I have to have a funeral or service?

No, often people don’t want a ‘fuss’ made about them. However, it is important for families to have some form of a farewell as part of the grieving process. Funerals provide the opportunity to gather together, remember and celebrate the life of someone who was important in their lives.
