Here are what some of our previous clients have to say:

Sunshine Coast Funerals FAQs

  • What should I expect from a funeral service?

    Funeral services vary greatly depending on cultural, religious and personal preferences, but generally, there are common elements you can expect. All funerals offer a structured setting for friends and family to come together, mourn their loss, celebrate the life lived and provide support to each other. It typically includes a eulogy, readings, music and sometimes, a viewing or wake afterwards. Many funerals include a moment of silence or reflection, giving attendees the chance to say their personal goodbyes. Each service is unique, reflecting the personality and lifestyle of the deceased and their family.

  • What is the first thing I need to do when a death occurs?

    Immediately after a death occurs, it is important to notify the relevant authorities. If the death happened in a hospital, the staff would typically take care of this. In the case of an at-home death, the first step is to get in touch with a healthcare professional who can officially confirm and record the death. Then, reach out to a funeral director to begin planning for the funeral service.

  • How do I get a Death Certificate and how long will it take to receive it?

    A Death Certificate can be obtained from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in your state or territory. It usually takes between one and four weeks to receive it after the death has been registered, which must be done within five days of the death.

  • Who is responsible for arranging a funeral?

    Typically, the executor of the deceased’s will or the next of kin is responsible for arranging the funeral. However, it is essential to be aware that the person who signs the authorisation for a funeral service to proceed is legally responsible for the costs involved.

  • How long before the ashes are available post-cremation?

    After a cremation, it usually takes around a week for the ashes to be processed and ready for collection. However, this timeline can vary depending on the crematorium's schedule and procedures. Rest assured, our funeral directors will keep you updated and guide you through the process of receiving your loved one's ashes.

  • What is embalming and when is it needed?

    Embalming is a specialised process where the body of the deceased is preserved and sanitised using specific chemicals. It's typically needed when there's a delay between death and the funeral, a public viewing or open casket service is desired, or for international repatriations when the body needs to be transported over long distances. However, it's not always required and the need for embalming should be discussed and agreed upon with your chosen funeral director.

  • What are the benefits of prepaying a funeral?

    Prepaying a funeral has several benefits. Most importantly, it helps relieve your loved ones of a financial burden during an already emotionally stressful time. By planning and prepaying for your funeral, you lock in the costs at today's prices, providing protection against future inflation and rising costs. You also get the opportunity to plan your service the way you want it, reflecting your own preferences. This gives peace of mind to both you and your family, knowing that your wishes will be carried out as you desired. It also allows for discussion and open communication about your end-of-life plans, making it easier for your family when the time comes. It's always advisable to consult with a trusted funeral services provider like Perry & Oster Funerals for guidance on prepaying and planning a funeral.
