Throughout Melbourne and country Victoria a fully trained funeral director from Glen Funerals will personally advise you regarding all the stages of your loved ones funeral.

The funeral director will assist you from the start of your funeral requests to the finish of your loved ones funeral making the experience personalised.

Our funeral services include: the provision of caskets, cemeteries, chapel services, coffins, cremations, embalming services, interstate and overseas transfers.  We will supply you with an itemised price list on request.

As part of the Funeral Act 2010, all funeral directors must give an itemised price list to anyone making an enquiry.  We see this as making sense.  The person making the enquiry wants to be able to compare apples with apples.  We are only too pleased to provide an itemised price list to anyone making an enquiry.

Glen Funerals have experience in providing caring and respecful funeral services within multi-cultural Melbourne.  We do not discriminate against race, religion or creed. Respecting faiths and culture is paramount to us.
