We’ve been helping Tasmanian families say goodbye to their loved ones for 90 years. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions you might find helpful.
The first step is simply to call us. We’ll talk you through what happens next and begin making arrangements to care for your loved one.
Costs vary depending on your choices. We provide clear, transparent pricing so you can make informed decisions.
Yes. While we have a funeral home in North Hobart, we can help arrange services across Hobart, including churches, community venues and outdoor locations where appropriate.
A funeral usually takes place within days or weeks of a death and often includes a burial or cremation as part of the service. A memorial service is held after burial or cremation has occurred and may take place weeks or months later. Both provide meaningful opportunities to gather, reflect and honour a life.
There's no need to rush. We'll guide you through each step at a pace that feels comfortable, helping with the immediate essentials while giving you the time and space to make thoughtful decisions about the service itself.
Our caring team works closely with families to understand their needs and wishes. We also have great working relationships with local faith leaders, and will do the necessary research and planning to ensure the funeral is carried out according to your beliefs and customs.
Yes – we encourage it. Whether it's playing their favourite songs, displaying treasured photos, or incorporating meaningful objects or rituals, we'll help you create a service that truly reflects who they were and the memories you hold dear.

We have experience arranging funeral services across Hobart in a wide range of locations, from churches and chapels to parks, beaches and private properties. We’ll help coordinate the logistics, including permits if required.
A prepaid funeral plan allows you to plan and pay for selected funeral services in advance, at today’s prices. It also gives you the opportunity to record your wishes, helping reduce emotional and financial pressure on your family.
Many people value the peace of mind that can come with planning ahead and documenting their wishes. Locking in today’s prices can also help reduce the impact of inflation and rising costs.
It’s also important to consider that circumstances may change over time. Taking time to understand your options can help you decide what feels right.
The cost depends on what you choose to include. Some people prepay for specific items, while others arrange a full service. We can talk you through the options and provide clear pricing.
With Guardian Plan, you can pay upfront or choose instalments over time. Once the plan is paid in full, there are no additional costs for the services included.
