Burial Service

 

The cost of a Burial Service will vary depending on the type of service and choices you make. As a guide, a burial service within the Ipswich & Brisbane area on average may be between $4,000 - $6,500 depending on the cemetery being used.

 

It is important to note that there are privately owned and trustee owned cemeteries which also offer a more reduced burial fee.

Things to Consider

  • Which cemetery will the burial take place?
  • What date and time will the service be held?
  • If required, where will the service take place? It is your decision whether you would like a formal service to be held, otherwise we can offer a private burial.
  • Do you require a floral tribute?
  • Would you like a DVD photo tribute?
  • Are any newspaper notices to be published?
  • Who will officiate the service? – Minister or celebrant?
  • Do you require any order of service booklets to be printed? We are able to do this for you.
