“Smile, though your heart is breaking” Nat King Cole

The whole of life is about beginnings and endings, happiness and loss. When you suffer from a loss, it can be hard to believe that you will ever find happiness again. The staff at Avenal Park Funeral Home can support you through this time. We encourage you talk - to have meaningful conversations with your loved ones.

As well as supporting families when their loved one passes, we can also assist with prearrangements and prepayment plans. Prepayments are managed through the FDANZ Funeral Trust. It is not an insurance policy, the money you pay is yours – held in trust for when it is required.

We also offer a monumental and headstone service, covering everything from memorial plaques to headstones.

If you would like to talk to someone about funeral/monumental options or would even like a tour of our premises, please contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home - 03 218 9021.
