Frequently Asked Questions

The best funeral director is the one that best caters to your needs. Funerals are a stressful time for any family and making sure your needs are met should be the first priority of any funeral director. If you’re comparing funeral directors, there are a lot of websites online that will allow you to. However, everyone is different and the only way you’re going to know if a funeral director is right for you is by talking to them directly. The team at Kingston Funerals is available 24/7 to discuss your needs. We’re committed to helping people, going to great lengths to make sure you can remember your loved ones in a way that’s right for you. We have several funeral directors on our team. Contact us and we’ll help you find a funeral director that’s right for you and provide you with more information on Melbourne funeral services. 

The cost of a funeral can differ greatly depending on the type and what’s included in the funeral service.

If this is your first experience with funeral directors, the whole situation can be a bit daunting. We have a range of terms we use to talk about different parts of the service or planning process. Each will be something you have to think about at some stage, whether you plan it yourself or ask our team to take care of it. Some of the more common terms we use include

Funeral Home:

A building where funerals are planned and held. Although it’s not completely standard, the term funeral home is sometimes used interchangeably with a funeral parlour or mortuary. You’ll find a lot of funeral homes Melbourne advertising themselves under a range of these terms.

Funeral Venues:

Slightly different from funeral homes, funeral venues refers to the location where the funeral service or memorial will take place. They can range from a large, ornate building with a capacity of hundreds to a local park, or even just somewhere special to you and your loved one.

Funeral Director:

A funeral director is the person in charge of the funeral service. They manage and oversee all funerals that occur there as well as any other responsibilities such as cremations, burials, and anything else involved with the service itself.

Funeral Celebrant:

A funeral celebrant is a professional who organises funeral ceremonies, manages them and provides support throughout the process. We have several celebrants on our team, allowing you to choose the one that resonates most with your situation.

Funeral Parlour:

Another name for a funeral home. The name comes from a time when funerals were held in the parlour of the family home, before the mid-19th century. Many funeral parlours Melbourne are the same as funeral homes.

It can be difficult to know where to start when a death occurs in the family, however, at Kingston Funerals, we are here to help with the grieving process and funeral service. From transferring your loved one into our care, choosing a funeral home to organising the funeral, we have all the information you need right here on our website, or feel free to call us and we will step through the entire process with you.

As far as providing funeral services goes, there is no difference between Melbourne funeral homes and funeral parlours. Funeral parlours and funeral homes are places where the deceased can be prepared for the funeral, and you can find the services you need to plan and carry out a funeral. They offer a range of burial, funeral, and cremation services. If you’re looking for funeral parlours Melbourne, Kingston Funerals can provide you with all the services you need and more.

We do offer pre paid funerals, with a range of options to choose from. If you’re considering paying for your funeral in advance, discuss your needs with our funeral directors today or click here to learn more about pre paid funerals. We aim to be Australia’s leading provider of funeral services, making our funeral services flexible and accessible for families throughout Melbourne. 

The Australian Funeral Directors Association, or the AFDA, is the peak industry body for funeral directors with Member firms in every State and Territory. If you’re a searching for a funeral director Melbourne, many of the ones you find will be members of the AFDA. However, while many funeral directors are a part of the association, choosing a funeral director that’s part of the association is not essential. In the end, it’s up to you to choose the funeral director that will best meet your needs, your family’s needs, and the wishes of your loved one.
