With cemeteries at Rookwood, Liverpool, Kemps Creek and soon to expand into the Macarthur region, our relationship with the Catholic fraternity gives families the opportunities to have peace of mind that their needs regarding burial's , cremation, burial plots, niches to place ashes and traditional service are all taken care of and within budget.
As a partner of catholic Cemeteries our objective is to meet the needs of catholic families in a Christian manner ensuring that the loss of a loved one with our support will make your journey a little lighter as our family becomes part of yours.
The directors of our Australian owned and family run business, Rocco and Sofie Polistina and John and Vicki Musumeci have been raised in the catholic faith and have been associated in many facets of Christian life with their everyday activities such as supporting local churches, schools and sporting clubs. Our staff have also spent time in the capacity of church acolytes', ensuring that all the following's of a full requiem mass are carried and even being able to cater for family's wishing just to have a memorial service.
In recent years with cremation being permitted in the catholic religion we are able to give families an insight and direction on how best to celebrate a service in full catholic ceremony and give families that peace of mind that their loved has been given a services in keeping with catholic custom's. You may also wish to speak to us about 'Mary Mother of Mercy Chapel' or 'The Sacred Heart Chapel' at Rookwood in the centre of Sydney that are designed to cater for cremation services.
Our staff will be able to assist you with choosing a coffin from our extensive range of local and imported stock. We can assist you with choosing all the accessories such as crucifixes and other catholic symbols that can be affixed to the coffin, framed photo's memorial books and the hymns to make the service is complete and memorable.
At Funerals of Compassion our job is not finished once the funeral s done. With Catholic Cemeteries and Crematoria's we are there when you need us most with a support structure that offers families grief counselling, reading material and simply an ear when you might need it most. A shoulder will be always available for our families. We will be there for you when you need us and just a phone call away.
Feel free to call us at anytime, to discuss your needs, perhaps a prepaid funeral may be something you may want to consider giving families peace of mind knowing mum or dads wishes will be carried out and the funeral arranged they wanted or in fact parents knowing they haven't left the children the burden of how to pay for the funeral.
