Arranging a Funeral

A funeral is a celebration of a person’s life. When arranging one, reliable support is an important factor. There are some decisions that need to be made straight away but time needs to be given to understand what further needs to be organised.

With so many practicalities it would only seem wise to choose advice from an experienced source. John Allison/Monkhouse has provided Melbourne families with caring and helpful advice on arranging funerals for over 140 years. We offer support prior to and during the funeral and also afterwards with bereavement counselling.

We will arrange a personal discussion with your family or executor, either in our office or at your family home. At this meeting, the wishes of your family will be discussed, as well as the various practicalities including statutory documents and forms, which need to be completed and signed.

The following information is about offering the deceased the most dignified service possible. It contains clear and practical information regarding all aspects of arranging a funeral and further advice on coping with bereavement.

We hope you find it useful.
