Cost of a Funeral

Dubock Funerals have a longstanding reputation for compassionate and professional service. As a family owned and operated funeral home, we are honoured to play a role in assisting other families to pay tribute to their loved ones in a special and meaningful way.

We provide personalised funeral services that are fully tailored to your family’s needs, wishes and financial requirements. Our professional funeral directors will work alongside you to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your loved one’s funeral service, and are more than willing to accommodate any special requests that we can assist you with.

We believe strongly in the importance of getting a funeral service right, to ensure that you have the opportunity to pay tribute to your loved one, to reminisce and be given space to process your loss, while treating the deceased with the respect and dignity that everybody deserves.

We will work within your budget and individual requirements to provide a meaningful and dignified tribute for your loved one.

Every funeral is unique, and the total cost will depend on the services and options you choose. Costs can vary considerably due to factors such as church fees, newspaper notices, funeral stationery, family vehicles, cemetery or crematorium charges, and other external expenses.
