Bereavement Support for Families Facing Financial Hardship

As a not-for-profit organisation, we believe that no family should ever be placed in a position of hardship or debt to have a meaningful funeral service.

At Bereavement Assistance, we provide affordable funeral services and bereavement support to families facing financial hardship. Our mission is to offer low-cost funeral services, including dignified cremations, without placing an additional financial burden on the bereaved.

Depending on the circumstances, we can arrange services at a significantly reduced cost, or in some cases, at no cost.
