At Blackwell Funerals, we’re proud to be there for Adelaide families when they need us most.
Almost a century ago, coffin-maker Frank William Blackwell founded Blackwell Funerals. Since then, we’ve grown to six locations across Adelaide – Black Forest, Glenside, Hillcrest, Payneham, Somerton Park and Torrensville – while staying true to the values we were built on.

Hear from the Adelaide families we've cared for
Everything was handled with respect and made us very comfortable.
I was very happy with the way everything was handled from picking up the body to the funeral parlor. They explained everything and were very understanding. They made my other son comfortable after finding his brother when he passed away.
We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience.
The staff were professional and guided us through the process of organising a funeral with ease, understanding and respecting our wishes throughout the process. We are truly grateful to Yvette for her respect and attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble. Blackwells Payneham went above and beyond and we cannot thank them enough in helping us celebrate our father’s life.
Having Joe come to the house was so much better than coming in to the Funeral Home.
The personalised service, his empathetic and sincere manner all helped my family and I feel at ease when we were struggling to make sense of the saddest of situations.
