TRADITIONAL FUNERAL
Our Traditional Funeral option starts from $2,530.
The Traditional Funeral is an option that works with both cremation and burial services and includes the full funeral cortege and funeral director services.
The Traditional Funeral price does not include the price of the burial plot or crematoria. These prices are set by the local council and/or owners and we will provide you with options and prices based on your individual particular requirements. Where budget is a major factor in the funeral choice, we offer a Direct Burial as an option, which includes the cost of the plot.
The Traditional Funeral works beautifully as is, though it can be added to in any number of ways, based on what you would like. We can work with you to customise the funeral, for example, by arranging flowers, helping with a dove release, providing memorial cards, incorporating a colour theme, and more, should it be required.
At Harrison Funeral Home, we offer you an award-winning, safe pair of hands for all of your funeral arranging needs.
