Supporting our community and our world
We’re passionate about making a positive difference in the world. All our surplus funds go to local and global charities supporting people in need. When you arrange a funeral with us, we also make an extra donation to one of these groups in honour of your loved one.
Our Giving Program
Last year we distributed $628,000 to Australian charities (*2024-25 Impact Report), as part of our Not-for-Profit giving program. Your family can join us and choose where some of this year’s donation will go by selecting the charity your family cares about most from our mission, humanitarian or local community partners.

Compassionate Funerals is the most precise title for this group of people. I am so grateful that they were recommended to me by a friend, as I was completely lost and didn't know where to start.
From the minute I first spoke to Kim on the phone, I knew I had found the most caring, understanding, professional and knowledgeable team for the daunting task ahead. Kim, Emily and Jessica made us feel so comfortable, and guided us through every step of the process, including matching us with the equally wonderful and creative David Taylor to lead the service on the day. I was updated as each stage progressed, and nothing was too much trouble when I wasn't thinking straight and needed to make little changes.
As a result of their tireless efforts the outcome on the day was beautiful, and the entire funeral and burial and even all the follow up necessities were absolutely perfect and seamless. All we had to do was be there and get through it all.
While it is not something I wish anyone to have to go through, it is inevitable, and when you have lost a loved one, I strongly recommend that you engage Compassionate Funerals to help you through this tough time. Myself and my family are so happy that we did.

Two brothers, tasked with celebrating their amazing mothers life with the utmost respect and dignity!
From our first phone conversation with Emily we knew that the incredible ladies at Compassionate Funerals were the ones to help us navigate this difficult journey. Our first face to face meeting with Jess confirmed we had made the right decision, as she listened caringly and respectfully to our needs and our mum, Patricia's wishes. She steered us effortlessly through the whole process and put our minds at ease. Every detail was meticulously handled in house right down to the beautiful slideshow tribute. The service was a wonderful, fitting tribute and celebration and we cannot thank Jess, Emily and Kim enough for the professionalism, compassion and care that they provided!

We recently repatriated my father to the UK and Compassionate Funerals were superb. I would highly recommend this not for profit funeral service. Claudia and her team were kind, empathetic and professional
