Immediate care and coordination
Our Adelaide funeral directors are available 24/7. We’ll transfer your loved one into our care with dignity, manage medical certificates, and register the death with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Personalised funerals and memorial services in Adelaide that honour your loved one’s memory.
Whether you’re planning a traditional service in a church, a celebration in one of our funeral homes in Black Forest, Glenside, Hillcrest, Payneham, Somerton Park or Torrensville, or a gathering by the bay or in a local park, our funeral directors bring deep experience and local knowledge to every farewell.
We’ll guide you through the funeral planning process from start to finish, making sure every detail reflects what matters most to you and your family.
We offer a range of religious and cultural funeral services so families across Adelaide can say goodbye in a way that reflects their beliefs, values and traditions. We’re experienced supporting Italian, Greek, Jewish and Baha’i communities, and work closely with faith leaders of all religions across Adelaide.
If you’re planning a non-traditional funeral or memorial service in Adelaide, we’re here to help. Whether the service is held at one of our funeral homes in Black Forest, Glenside, Hillcrest, Payneham, Somerton Park or Torrensville – or at a place that holds special meaning, such as a local garden or favourite beach – we’ll help to make it happen.
Every life is unique, and every farewell should be too. From their favourite music and poems to photos, videos and personal mementos, we’ll help you plan a service that feels true to the life they lived.

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. Thank you.
There are not enough words to fully express my gratitude to the staff.
The Blackwell staff cared so lovingly for Mark and us as a family after Mark passed away. I would sincerely like Krystle and Shane to be acknowledged for their professionalism at the same time to be so caring of us all as it would not have been easy for them at this time being valued colleagues and a friend to Mark and myself.
Joseph was extremely empathic and patient with us.
He was able to change/accommodate any changes we wanted immediately and was always reassuring that nothing was a problem and that you could manage all requests which was evident with the lovely send off we had.
A funeral usually takes place within days or weeks of a person passing and often includes a burial or cremation as part of the service. A memorial service is held after burial or cremation has already taken place, sometimes weeks or months later. Some families choose to hold both, while others choose one or the other. We’re here to help you with whatever feels right.
There’s no set timeline. Our Adelaide funeral directors will guide you through immediate essentials while giving you the time and space to make thoughtful decisions about the service – there’s no need to rush.
Absolutely. From your loved one’s favourite songs and photographs to beloved objects and personal rituals, we’ll help you create a service that reflects their personality, through and through.
Yes. We can help plan an eco-friendly funeral and memorial service, including biodegradable coffins, locally sourced flowers and food, so you can plan a service that’s true to your loved one’s values.
Definitely. We’ve arranged funeral services across Adelaide in churches, community halls, sportsgrounds, wineries, beaches and family homes. We’ll manage the logistics so the service can be held in a place that feels right.
We recommend bringing a family member or friend, your loved one’s personal details, marriage certificate if applicable, a recent photo, and any prepaid funeral plan documents if they exist to your first meeting with your Adelaide funeral director.
Whether you've recently lost a loved one or you’re planning for the future, our team is always here to help.
