What Are The Different Types Of Funerals?

With multiple funeral homes in Adelaide, our compassionate and kind team understand the many ways people mourn and celebrate the passing of a loved one.

It’s why we offer tailored and deeply personalised services—services that ring true for the individual no longer with us.

In very broad strokes, here are some of the most common ‘types’ of funerals that many consider at the start of the planning process:

  • Religious services
  • Traditional / cultural services
  • Non-religious services

These are best not thought of as mutually exclusive however, as it’s entirely possible and indeed regular for us to arrange a funeral that incorporates elements from more than one of the above.

It’s about what’s right for each individual, and not about selling prepackaged funeral types that are rigid and inflexible and straight out of a box.

As a result, it’s entirely up to you whether you decide to host the funeral or memorial service at a chapel at one of our Adelaide funeral homes, or at a chapel at the cemetery or church of your choice. Whatever the case, we can guide you through funeral planning, liaise with the celebrant, minister, or priest, and take care of all arrangements.

No matter the religious, traditional, cultural, or non-religious requirements, we’ll get it right so you can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a funeral home in Adelaide that will do justice to the memory of your loved one.

Contact us today to find out how our funeral directors can accommodate all faiths and beliefs with a wide range of bespoke considerations.

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.
