OUR ALL INCLUSIVE FUNERAL PACKAGE

We at Australian Orthodox Funerals believe that honesty and respect are the pinnacles of our service. We don't believe in hidden costs or fees, so we have put together a package that encompasses all aspects of a traditional Orthodox funeral at one fixed cost. 

You can customise as much or as little as you like. These are the basic essentials of an Orthodox funeral.

Elegant Richmond Coffin

Our starting coffin is an elegant Richmond flat-lid coffin. 
Available in 3 different woods:
Rosewood, Maple or Teak

You can, of course, choose any one of our wide verity of coffins we offer and just pay the difference in price.

2

Jerusalem Death Shroud 

We adorn your loved one in their coffin with a Jerusalem death shroud. Purchased from the church in Jerusalem.

3

Icons and Crucifix 

We provide your loved one with an icon of your choosing and gently place it in their hands once they're in their coffin. We also add a Crucifix to the lapel of your loved one, as well as three candles and incense.
We also can provide larger icons to be buried along with them upon request.

4

Flowers 

We have a strong working partnership with one of Melbourne's biggest and best florists, Grandiflora. This partnership allows us access to stunning flowers and arrangements. 
We provide you with a book of options, and you're able to choose what you like up to $350.

You're welcome to spend above, and we just subtract the $350 from the final flower bill.

5

Grave Side Service

We provide the wheat, wine and oil required for the graveside service. 
Service is conducted by the priest or celebrant.

6

Priest/Celebrant/Church Fees

We charge the church and Priest up to $900 in fees. Alternatively, we can arrange for a celebrant and chapel hire. 
Don't be caught out by other funeral directors who will not disclose this payment; you could be left to pay for it separately from their fees.

7

Professional Services Fees

This payment allows us to keep our operations going and maintain our staff.  

8

Trisagion / Viewing / Rosary

We arrange and transport your loved one to and from the church or chapel the night before the service. We arranged for a traditional sermon to be conducted. 
This is optional, of course.

Transport of your loved one into our care 

We arrange for your loved one to be picked up from anywhere, be it the hospital, home, aged care facility, coroner, or the airport. 

We cover pick up within 2 hours of the Melbourne CBD. Beyond that, there will be an additional hour beyond 2 hours.

This includes basic monetary needs: washing, cleaning, dressing and preparing for your loved one. 
We offer embalming services at an additional charge.

Embalming is not needed in most situations.

11

We include 30 white, red, or mixed tribute roses for the tomb (grave site), worth $240. 

Additional flowers can be ordered at an additional cost as well.
