What We Offer

Planning a funeral can be an overwhelming and emotionally draining task – particularly at a time when you’re already dealing with the loss of someone dear to you. But we’re here to help. Just say the word and we’ll take on as much – or as little – of the responsibility of planning the funeral as you’d like us to.

Green Funerals

A ‘green’ funeral is a wonderful way to celebrate a love of nature. At William Cole Funerals, we offer a range of green options, including cardboard and wicker caskets and coffins, bush burials or biodegradable urns.

A Woman’s Touch

We also offer funeral services exclusively managed by our caring and compassionate team of female Funeral Directors. Maybe you feel more comfortable talking with a woman, or maybe your loved one would have preferred a woman’s touch. Whatever the reason, we will ensure this important day runs exactly as you desire.

At William Cole Funerals, we do things your way. We don’t believe in only offering generic funeral services that say little about the person they celebrate. We prefer to plan the funeral around the life that they lived.

The right funeral will celebrate the things that made your loved one so special. Their sense of humour. Their quirks. A love of gardening. Their beloved ’66 Mercedes. Their dedication to family. Their childhood. Their culture. Their views on life and what comes after. The big things, the small things – they all come together to paint a portrait of the person.

You knew them best, so tell us all about them, and together, we’ll plan a funeral that feels right – a funeral that feels like them. Let’s talk.

Helping your family comes naturally to us.

  • “A beautiful and touching service. William Cole Funerals were able to incorporate dad’s old ute, just the way he would have wanted.” - BG

  • "While for most of us burying our wife is not a pleasant experience, Amanda of William Cole Funerals ensured our experience was full of laughter as well as crying. I contacted William Cole Funerals as William helped my sister and I give our mother a great send off in 2009. The natural burial Amanda facilitated was every bit as good, the mortician was great at helping me dress my wife, and Amanda, at my request since I’d forgotten, took great photos of my lady in red. Thank you Amanda, Christine and William." - MR

  • “The prepaid funeral plan allowed us to grieve in our own time, without worrying about the financial burden.” - MP

  • "A caring and professional service. Thank you for your funeral direction from start to finish with the passing of our beloved Mrs Dorothy Jene Baker 100 years young! Helen was wonderful with her caring touch and assistance to our family. Mr Cole we met on the day of the funeral, also a lovely & caring man. I would highly recommend your services to anyone." - BW

  • “Thank you so very much for making the most difficult day of our lives easier. Your team lightened our burden. God bless you Bill, Christine and your beautiful family. Thank you again.” - NB

  • "Fiona was so caring and provided the most wonderful recommendations for a celebrant. She was so kind and delivered a touching and accurate account of Beautiful Belinda’s life, sadly cut short. Fiona also arranged for the most beautiful flower arrangement we ever could have asked for. Myself and my two sons could not recommend William Cole Funerals Highly enough." - RB

  • "The compassionate staff did everything possible to make sure the organising of the service and the actual day ran smoothly. I appreciated this during such a stressful and overwhelmingly sad time." - DO

  • "I just wanted to express my since thanks for everything you did for us leading up to the funeral, from the visit to the house to finalise arrangement to the organisation on the actual day. You made what was a difficult task for us much easier and we really appreciate the compassion and understanding you showed. We felt she would totally have approved of the funeral service, and in retrospect we would not have changed anything. The arrangements in the chapel on the day were perfect, from the flowers to the refreshments. We particularly treasure the streaming video - many friends and relatives interstate and overseas were able to ‘attend’ the funeral when they would otherwise have been unable. So just a big thank you. We are most grateful." - IP

  • "Bill and family and associates provide a very professional and caring service. Special thanks to Denis, a wonderful man and credit to your business. Many thanks." - MD

We’ve invested so much of ourselves into what we do that the business and our family are, to a large extent, one and the same thing. So perhaps it’s not surprising that we feel a huge sense of pride in our work and how we can provide comfort to you as you experience such life-changing sorrow.

Because as a family ourselves, helping your family comes naturally to us.
