Do you need a funeral director?

Is it necessary to hire a funeral director?

In NSW, using a funeral director is not compulsory. Most families still choose one.

You can make your own arrangements for the venue, music, catering and more. But moving and caring for the person who has died must meet strict health regulations, the paperwork for a burial or cremation is detailed, and many cemeteries and crematoriums prefer to deal with a funeral director. That is why most families ask a funeral director to look after these parts for them.

Maurer Family Funerals is located in Chatswood.

Maurer Family Funerals is proudly Australian owned, family-managed and operated.  We are a Sydney funeral director based in Chatswood, on Sydney’s North Shore.

Your decision on who to call to arrange the funeral may include a number of factors like the funeral director’s experience and reputation. Are they a company owned by a multi-national or Australian owned and operated?

“A commitment to service, integrity, honesty and compassion.”

To ensure an Australian organisation is attending to your family’s funeral arrangements, ownership should be established before engaging their services.

When you call Maurer Family Funerals the strength of our reputation and the confidence it inspires stems from a commitment to service, integrity, honesty and compassion, which has remained constant in our family for over four generations.

We, as a family, are actively involved and are proud to continue these traditions so fundamental in providing personal attention to detail.
