Funeral Process in Perth

Arranging a funeral can feel overwhelming, especially during a time of grief.

At Remembrance Funerals, we guide families through the funeral process in Perth step by step, ensuring everything is handled with care, clarity and respect.

Understanding the Funeral Process

The funeral process involves several stages, from the initial passing of your loved one through to the final service.

Our role is to make this process as simple and stress-free as possible, providing clear guidance at every step.

Step 1: Contact a Doctor

A doctor must confirm that death has occurred and issue a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death.

  • At home: contact your loved one’s doctor
  • In hospital or aged care: this is usually arranged for you

Step 2: Contact a Funeral Director

Once death has been certified, a funeral director can take your loved one into their care.

Remembrance Funerals will:

  • Arrange transfer into care
  • Provide immediate support
  • Begin guiding you through the next steps

We are available 24 hours a day across Perth.

Step 3: Arranging the Funeral

We will meet with you to discuss all aspects of the funeral, including:

  • Burial or cremation
  • Type of service (traditional, memorial or simple)
  • Location of the service
  • Personal elements and tributes

We can meet in your home or a location of your choice to ensure you feel comfortable during this process.

Step 4: Preparing the Service

Once arrangements are confirmed, we take care of all logistics, including:

  • Booking venues and cemeteries
  • Coordinating clergy or celebrants
  • Organising transport
  • Preparing service details

Our team ensures everything runs smoothly and respectfully.

Step 5: The Funeral Service

The funeral service is a time for family and friends to come together to honour and remember your loved one.

This may include:

  • A church or chapel service
  • A graveside service
  • A personalised farewell

Every service is carried out with dignity and care.

Step 6: After the Funeral

Following the service, there are additional steps such as:

  • Receiving ashes (if cremation is chosen)
  • Finalising documentation
  • Attending to personal and administrative matters

We continue to provide guidance and support as needed.
