Funeral Services Questions and Pricing Guide
Basic Info
Our service is to make your Funeral Easier, More Memorable and Most of all have more colour.
The difference with our services is we focus on the particulars that make our Funerals more colourful and better.
Do we need to worry about the paperwork?
We will gather all the information to make it easier for you. We will offer you a selection of options and organise everything on your behalf. Our pricing is always subject to Funeral Director Services.
Can I organise my own Funeral?
If your in the time of your life where you know that your own funeral is something you would like to organise, then speak to Sandy and we will get your end of life package under away. This means you have the opportunity to make decisions that are yours.
Can I prepay for a Funeral?
Yes of course, you can prepay, we will guide you to a secure prepay Funeral Company Package, that will organise all the details. This is a great way for you to plan and save at the same time.
Service Info
Do you handle the body?
We choose a specialised Mortuary close to your location. They have specialised care to handle the body. The Funeral Directors will take care of the final paperwork and make sure you receive all the paperwork and death certificate.
What is the difference using you and other companies?
None, its plain and simple, but the difference is we try to mend the bridge between a Funeral Director and and Amazing Service. You may already have a Funeral Director and may only want Sandy to be the Celebrant, that’s fine… Its only you we think about.
Do you do Burials ?
We can do anything you wish.
Where do I start?
Give Sandy a call and she will speak to you direct. Sandys services are one on one as she only does specialty funerals you wont receive the run around like other Funeral Services.

Drag Queen Funerals
Instead of just having men in suits carry you down the isle, why not get men in dresses.
Everyone arrives to recieve a glass of pink bubbly with flecks of gold in it. The venue is modern, a staff member offers you a little canape, in which you loved as a child.
The Dj brings up your favourite songs, the lights start and you arrive in your sequined casket.
A drag queen all in pink walks you in and and another follows you behind. Your photos are on the screen and the place smells like your favourite perfume.
This is not going to be a sad day, its going to be a celebration on your life, the way you want it.
Everyone gets a chance to say what they want, before the queens all join in a Whitney Song Together. Everyone hangs around for a dance and some refreshments, while you stay and enjoy the party just like you always wanted to.
Later you get collected and retired to the place you want to rest.
Now thats a Drag Queen Funeral Australia style of Funeral.
Direct Cremation
Your family member is treated with respect and love as its prepared and taken for direct cremation. Choose from a range of Urns and Containers that fit your loved one. Families love this option when looking for a later date to spread the ashes, do a memorial after the pain eases and or make a special celebration that celebrates the loved ones life.
Funeral Service + Cremation
A traditional funeral service that gives a quick turn around time and traditional Funeral at the crematorium. Later after the funeral family can celebrate with a wake that can feature stories and great memories of the loved one. This service is a traditional service but still offers some of Sandys Sparkle to make the day magical.
Burial Service / (Optional grave site)
Sandy can help you organise your Burial Service and also give you a list of sites that may suit you and your loved one. Burial services are usually offered in Funeral Crematorium Sites, but we suggest burials done at home or in spaces outside of the ordinary that match the person that has left us. With every service made to suit the loved one, we will celebrate their life in a unique and delicate way that produces smiles, tears and most of all support for everyone.
