Comprehensive Funeral Services

Olsens Funerals is a progressive, innovative Australian owned family business providing caring professional service, education and support to families in need. We are recognised for our meaningful contribution to the community. Our dedicated team is built on integrity, responsibility and compassion.

Olsens can guide you through each step of planning a funeral and explain the services that we offer and provide a cost for each. You can make an appointment to meet at our office or you may wish to discuss the details in the comfort of your own home, whichever you find more convenient.

We can guide you through the necessary decisions and then carry out your wishes. We pride ourselves in providing a complete service.

Caring For All Cultures

All Olsens staff understand the significance of diverse cultures and religions. We recognise that each culture and religion has specific customs and rituals which must be followed. When you talk to our staff they will be sympathetic to your personal needs.

Liason with Florists

Flowers can have a special meaning. They are often symbolic of emotion. Flower arrangements for coffins can be low key and subdued, bright and flamboyant, traditional or unconventional – the choice is yours. We can arrange all floral tributes on your behalf.

Supply of Vehicles

Olsens fleet of vehicles is a stylish and distinctive shade of deep grey. We can make arrangements on your behalf if you would prefer to use a white or black hearse. The vehicles are impeccably maintained, ensuring dignity during the funeral procession.

International or Interstate Arrangements

In the unfortunate event of a death away from home Olsens can make all the arrangements necessary to have the deceased repatriated.

In some cases, the deceased may be returning to their land of birth for burial. Once again, Olsens has the experience and expertise to be able to co-ordinate the planning and preparation required to achieve this. Please call us for an assessment of the costs involved.

Special Funeral Requests

Other requests or requirements can be carried out such as repatriations. You may wish to use unusual transport like a Harley Davidson motorbike. We can arrange these requests for you.
