Making Funeral Arrangements

We understand that making funeral arrangements can be an overwhelming task during a difficult time and we are here to make that process easier for you. The experienced staff at Mattiske Funerals have been helping Adelaide families for more than 54 years, and have a range of options to ensure your loved one receives a memorable service.

There are some major decisions that you will need to make when arranging a funeral, and some that you may not have thought about. Here are some things to consider when planning a funeral.

Burial or Cremation?

A major decision that you will need to make is whether or not you will have a burial or cremation. We offer a range of burial and cremation packages that range from the essentials only to premium services. Get in touch if you would like to discuss any available options.

Location

You will need to think about the location of the funeral service. You could hold your service at our Salisbury or Clovercrest Chapel, or you may want to celebrate at your church. In addition to our chapels we regularly work with popular cemeteries like Centennial Park, Enfield Memorial park, Pioneer Catholic Cemetery and many churches.

Who Will Conduct the Service?

You could have a celebrant, member of the clergy or a family member conduct the service for your loved one.

Special Inclusions

Every funeral is different, and you may have something special that you would like to include for your loved one. This could be music, a eulogy, slideshow or something else. Just let us know what you are thinking and we will ensure everything is taken care of in the planning.

The team at Mattiske Funerals are here to help anyone that has lost a loved one create a memorable celebration with an intimate and personalised service. With over 50 years in the industry, our experienced staff are committed to providing sincere and compassionate support to guide you through this difficult time. Contact us today if there is any way that we can assist you.
