Hello,
My name is Stephanie and together with my family, we own and operate Personal Farewells, proudly serving the Sydney community for many years. Over this time, we’ve built a trusted reputation of providing comfort and support to families looking to honour and celebrate the life of their loved ones through meaningful burial and cremation funeral services.
Have you ever attended a funeral, and while the service was a solemn occasion, there was a lack of connection to the essence and life lived by the departed? As independent funeral directors, we’re committed to providing a range of funeral options with a personal touch. Our defining characteristic lies in our attention to detail, ensuring that the uniqueness of your loved one shines through in their final tribute. Our approach is both subtle and profound, weaving a tapestry of rituals and narratives that transcend mere departure to become a lasting legacy.
From the initial shock of loss to the eventual closure, we pledge unwavering support throughout your journey. No request is too trivial, no detail too insignificant. We believe that the funeral service should reflect the essence of the life it commemorates. Whether it’s religious beliefs, cultural preferences, or the scale of the ceremony, we handle each aspect with utmost care. Our commitment is to encapsulate your loved one’s essence in the fabric of the service, ensuring that their presence resonates within the room and lingers as cherished memories.
We understand the profound impact of loss and regard our services not as mere transactions, but as a testament to our bond with those who entrust us with their grief. Our team is here to simplify the process for you, taking care of the practicalities and administrative burden, and enabling you to focus on what matters the most. Through our round-the-clock availability and a dedicated point of contact, we’ll be that shoulder to cry on and that helping hand to aid you in finding solace in your time of sorrow.
Allow us to be there for you.

Funeral homes usually offer a range of services including cremation, burial, memorial services, and pre-planning. They also assist with paperwork, obituaries, and transportation of the deceased.
Consider factors such as location, services offered, reputation, and cost. It’s also helpful to visit the funeral home, meet the staff, and ask questions to ensure they can meet your specific needs and preferences.
A funeral service typically involves the presence of the deceased’s body and is held shortly after death. A memorial service, on the other hand, does not include the body and can be held at any time after the death.
Yes, many funeral homes offer personalised services. You can include favourite music, readings, photos, and other personal touches to honour the deceased’s life and personality.
Costs can vary widely depending on the services chosen. Typical expenses include the funeral director’s fees, transportation, embalming, a casket or urn, and the use of the funeral home for the service. Additional costs may include flowers, obituary notices, and cemetery fees.
Pre-planning involves making arrangements in advance, including choosing the type of service, selecting a funeral home, and paying for services ahead of time. This can provide peace of mind and reduce stress for your loved ones.
Cremation involves the reduction of the body to ashes, which can be kept in an urn, scattered, or buried. Burial involves placing the body in a casket and interring it in a grave. Both options can be personalised with services and memorials.
Funeral homes typically provide transportation from the place of death to the funeral home, and then to the service and final resting place. They use specialised vehicles and ensure that all legal and health regulations are followed.
Many funeral homes offer grief support services, including counselling, support groups, and resources for coping with loss. They can also provide referrals to local support organisations.
During a visit, you can expect to meet with a funeral director who will guide you through the process, answer your questions, and help you make arrangements. You may also tour the facilities and discuss options for services and memorials.
