At Ruffles Funeral Services, we recognise that a funeral is an important way for families and communities to celebrate the life, culture and interests of those we honour. A personalised, meaningful funeral helps families and friends begin to heal after the death of someone they love. Funeral ceremonies help us move from life before a death, to life after a death.
The funeral also provides a time and place to affirm the worth of our relationship with the person who died and express our feelings of loss. A funeral demonstrates the continuity of life and activates the family’s support system. Another way to think of the funeral is as a celebration of a life, a final tribute to give thanks, for sharing in the life of the person who has died.
Funeral choices are often based on family and ethnic traditions. Since each funeral is unique, the costs will vary based on your family’s selections and whether burial, cremation or entombment is intended. These costs include our professional service fee, the coffin or casket, permits, cemetery and crematorium fees, plus miscellaneous costs such as flowers, obituary notices, death certificates, honorariums and many other services that we can assist you in arranging.
A funeral ceremony can be officiated by a family member or a friend, a civil celebrant or clergy.
For those families that prefer not to hold a funeral service with a ceremony, we offer our private direct cremation service from $1,450.
At Ruffles Funeral Services we believe the best type of funeral, is the funeral delivered exactly the way you requested.
