OUR ALL INCLUSIVE FUNERAL PACKAGE

We here at Australian Orthodox funerals believe that honesty and respect are pinnacles of our service. We don't believe in hidden costs or fees. So, we have put together a package that encompasses all aspects of a traditional Orthodox funeral at one fixed cost. 

You can customise as much or as little as you would like. This is the basic, essentials of an Orthodox funeral.

Elegant Richmond Coffin

Our starting coffin is an elegant Richmond, flat lid coffin. 
Available in 3 different woods:
Rosewood, Maple or Teak

You can, of course, choose any one of our wide verity of coffins we offer and just pay the difference in price.

2

Jerusalem Death Shroud 

We adorn your loved one in their coffin with a Jerusalem death shroud. Purchased from the church in Jerusalem.

3

Icons and Crucifix 

We provide your loved one of an icon of your choosing, and gently place it in their hands once they're in their coffin. We also add a Crucifix to the lapel of your loved one, as well as 3 candles and incense.
We also can provide larger icons to be buried along with them upon request.

Flowers 

We have a strong working partnership with one of Melbourne's biggest and best florists, Grandiflora, this allows us access to stunning flowers and arrangements. 
We provide you with a book of options, and you're able to choose what you like up to $350.

You're welcome to spend above, and we just subtract the $350 from the final flower bill.
