Picaluna believes in 100% price transparency, so we do things a little differently. We see our role as being to assist and empower families to create meaningful and authentic farewells that are aligned with their values. We are completely transparent with our pricing, sourcing everything at wholesale price and applying a 35% Service fee to the wholesale cost of the funeral. Furthermore, we donate 5% of our Service fee to a charity of your choice.
As part of our Price transparency ethos, following are some of the common prices for cremation, burial and funeral costs we provide (all costs are inclusive of GST).
