At Yellow Rose Funerals, we recognise the importance of a dignified farewell that reflects the values and wishes of your loved one. We understand that every person's life is unique and that family traditions, cultural, and religious beliefs play a role in how a loved one is farewelled. Yellow Rose Funerals provide guidance and industry knowledge to help each family decide how to uphold the traditions, stories and memories of their loved ones.
​
Burial
A burial, is the human ritual of placing the deceased into a burial plot or into an above ground burial such as a crypt or vault. For a burial service you will need to decide on a coffin or casket, and the preferred location of the burial plot. We can assist you in making the arrangements to purchase a new gravesite or facilitate the burial at a pre purchase site.
Graveside Service:
Many families choose to hold a graveside service as part of their farewell. A graveside service can be the single venue for the whole funeral service, meaning the service will occur at the gravesite. The graveside service may also take place following a service at another venue.
A graveside service can be personalised to your loved one's values, cultural, spiritual, personal, or emotional preferences.
​
Cremation
Nowadays, cremation is often the preferred choice for families in Australia. Once your loved one has been cremated, either following a funeral service or a direct cremation, families can choose to permanently memorialise the ashes at a carefully considered location, or they may wish to scatter them in a place of significance. Whatever your family chooses, we can guide you along the process.
Cremation and Funeral Service:
This usually means the coffin is present at the funeral service and cremated either at the location or is transferred by hearse to a crematorium to be cremated. The latter allowing you to have the service at a location such as a surf club, outdoors or at home.
No Service, No Attendance
Direct Cremation:
This is where your loved one is taken directly to the crematorium for cremation. The ashes are generally received back to the family in 3 weeks' time.
Direct Burial:
This is where your loved one is transported directly to the gravesite for burial.
​
For both options, family is generally not in attendance and rather they will have a Memorial Service at a later date. No Service, No Attendance arrangements are generally more affordable options.
Memorial
Where a No Service, No Attendance funeral is held families often have a memorial or service at a later time. At Yellow Rose Funerals we understand that holding ceremony space for your loved one, even with a direct cremation or burial is important to families and friends. This is where a memorial in a park, a garden or any venue like a pub, club, surf club, or beach offers a physical place to visit and remember a loved one, to hold space and ceremony to remember your loved one. A Memorial is similar to a traditional funeral, it simply happens after the cremation or burial, however the traditional coffin can be replaced with a personalised memorial table, which has the ashes as the centerpiece. Holding a Memorial after the cremation or burial can provide you and your family additional time and space to arrange a service that best reflects your loved one. We are here to support you the entire way.
Venues and Locations for Funerals
A Funerals location is a personal choice and can tie your loved one to the space forever. Yellow Rose Funerals has access to a wide range of funeral venues throughout Sydney, The Central Coast and Newcastle. If you are looking for a less traditional service, we can also provide you with options and support to ensure you get to honour your loved one your way. We have directed funerals in parks, on the beach, in chapels, gardens, in a loved one's home, a loved one's favorite club and many more places that were special to a loved one. If you are not sure what funeral venue is right for you and your needs, we will help you find the perfect space.
When choosing funeral venues, there are several considerations to keep in mind. These include:
-
How many people do you need to accommodate?
-
Do you want to hold the service in one location, or are you happy to travel to the cemetery or crematorium after the service?
-
Do you have any special requirements like onsite catering, video projection, room for musicians or a specific time in mind for the service?
-
Is the venue easy to find and is there appropriate car parking?
-
Do you need access to function rooms?
These answers will help you identify what you need in a funeral venue, and they will enable us to help you find the perfect funeral venue for your needs while also honouring the life of your loved one.
