A burial with a funeral service starts from $6,462
These prices don’t include the cost of the plot itself, or the opening and closing fees. Costs of burial plots in Melbourne range from $3,000 to $45,000.
Burial plots are often purchased ahead of time, and if this is a preferred option, should form part of end-of-life planning where possible. Some people like to engage the cemetery directly – if required, we can make the approach on your behalf, and do all the organising for you. You will also need to consider the headstone (generally ordered through the local stonemason); prices can vary depending on material, size etc.
Our professional funeral arranger will guide you each step of the way, helping you create an authentic farewell that matches your budget. Working with a collection of trusted suppliers, they will help you realise your vision of a perfect farewell. Whether it’s helping source the perfect flowers, finding a unique coffin (cardboard coffins are growing in popularity), following an old family tradition (or establishing a new one), giving the family choice is at the core of Picaluna’s philosophy.
Venues play an important role in honouring and celebrating a life lived. All cultural and spiritual beliefs are highly respected at Picaluna – in addition to places of worship, we support families who are looking for different choices to the traditional funeral venues and locations for funeral wakes.
If a church or chapel doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, you may like to try a more personalised funeral venue, which offers a beautiful space for the ceremony and wake. Some of these venues include surf clubs, golf clubs, local town halls, parks and beaches. You may even like to consider having the funeral at home.
