Hidden Costs In The Funeral Industry

When comparing funeral prices, ask for a written quote that explains the services, inclusions and any additional charges. A clear itemised quote makes it easier to compare arrangements.

At Australian Funerals and Cremations, we publish fixed package prices including GST. Ask us to explain the inclusions, cemetery charges and any optional choices before you decide.

Our listed prices including GST are $2,700 for cremation only, $6,000 for cremation with service, $7,150 for burial with service and $11,700 for a deluxe funeral. See the current pricing page for inclusions and request a written quote for your arrangements.

Check what a starting price includes

Ask whether the quote includes transfers, mortuary care, the coffin, certificates, cremation or burial services, and GST. Check the conditions for travel, service times, venue choice and optional extras. Ask for any additional charge to be explained in writing.

Burial arrangements can involve cemetery charges that vary with the cemetery, burial location and services selected. Your quote should make clear which cemetery costs are included or additional.

Compare quotes for the same type of service and ask about anything that is unclear. A lower headline price alone does not show whether the arrangement includes the services your family wants.

Our cremation-only package includes the services listed on our pricing page. For burial or other arrangements, ask for an itemised quote identifying the package inclusions, cemetery charges and any optional extras.
