COVID-19 and its impact on our services to you
As you are aware, the coronavirus continues to have a significant impact on the funeral industry. We are monitoring this closely on a daily basis and taking advice from our local cemeteries and crematoria, Department of Health and Human Services and keeping in regular contact with our industry colleagues.
In support of the strict government measures and for the well-being of the families that come into our care, our staff and the community, we have taken a number of precautionary measures to help reduce the spread of the virus.
We are following strict hygiene protocols including regular handwashing, use of hand sanitiser and use of gloves and masks where necessary. Also, we are offering our arrangements over the phone and via email whilst restricting face-to-face meetings to a maximum of one family member. We are adjusting our services due to the current regulations set by the government. We can also offer live streaming and recording for those who are unable to attend. Please call us for more information. We ask for your cooperation in not attending arrangements or funerals if you are unwell with cold and flu-like symptoms or have been in contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days or have recently arrived from overseas.
Although, the current environment requires all of us to have a level of compromise and understanding, we still remain committed to providing a high level of service and care. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.
Warm regards,
Ian Allison

What Makes Our Funeral Services Different?
Unique Service: As Ian’s ancestors were also funeral directors, you can expect a unique service standard and wealth of knowledge that has been transferred over generations. Combined with both traditional elements and a contemporary style of service, Botanical Funerals gives a memorable service to every family. You also have the option to choose either burial or cremation services according to your wishes or those of your loved one.
Transparent and Affordable Pricing: Many people often struggle to meet the budget required for a funeral service while farewelling their loved ones. At Botanical Funerals, we’ve designed four affordable customised pricing plans. You can compare the service inclusions offered by each plan and choose the one that meets your budget and service requirements or tailor a funeral to meet your specific needs.
Understanding of multicultural needs: As a multicultural family, we understand many of the diverse range of needs required by the community in assisting with specific cultural, religious, or family service requirements. Our caring and experienced staff are able to speak Cantonese and Mandarin, Haka, French, and Spanish.
Options for Preplanning: To help avoid both the emotional and financial burden falling on family members, Botanical Funerals offers both pre-arranged and pre-paid funerals. We take down all your wishes and every specific detail to allow a smoother process at the time of service delivery.
