DIY Funerals Sydney

As an independent funeral director, one of the ways Funerals by Design provides a better way to say goodbye to the people you love is with our “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) solution for all funeral types.

Designed to help take away the time restraints, financial pressures and stresses that are traditionally associated with organising a funeral, our DIY solution allows you to remain in control of the funeral planning.

Our DIY funeral solution certainly doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Our experienced team is here to help you and support you in every aspect of planning authentic, compassionate and affordable funerals, memorial services, cremations and celebrations of life.

If you prefer to see us face to face or have any questions, we are of course more than happy to talk on the phone or come and meet with you and the family to go through everything, step by step.

In Partnership with The Sydney Funeral Company

What’s included in a DIY funeral?

Our DIY funeral solution includes all the essential elements of organising a funeral service – applying for death certificates, Medicare and Centrelink notification, transfer and storage of the body and a lot more – with none of the unnecessary expenses, such as pressure to select an expensive coffin.

You don’t spend ridiculous amounts of money on services you don’t need or want and our pricing is open and transparent with all expenses itemised.

Whether it’s a Direct Cremation, a Full Funeral Service or a Memorial, our online DIY Funeral service allows you to do it online and in your own time, whenever you are ready, 24/7.

We are still by your side every step of the way and we are here to support you as much as you want, whether that’s a little or a lot. You can call us at any stage of the DIY process, 24 hours a day, to ask any questions, or to arrange a meeting in person.

Step 1

Contact Form

Visit our website 24/7 and fill in our online DIY funeral form with as much detail as possible. If we need more information from you we’ll be in touch.

Step 2

Fill In Link

We will send you a link to fill in information about your loved one, including information that Births, Deaths and Marriages require for the Death Certificate.

Step 3

Make Your Choices

In your own time and at your own pace, you then select the coffin, flowers, AV, booklets, cars and all the other elements of a funeral, without being pressured or upsold anything.

Step 4

We’ll Call You

Once you have chosen everything, we’ll call you to confirm everything is in order and to ensure you haven’t missed anything. We will explain the next steps and what will happen from here.

Step 5

Signatures Online

Once everything is confirmed and you are happy with your choices, we’ll get you to sign forms on a computer screen, phone or tablet.

One form may need to be witnessed by an authority witness, but we will explain how this works.

Step 6

Authentic And Affordable Funeral

The Direct Cremation, Full Funeral Service or Memorial that you have planned for your loved one will be an authentic, compassionate and affordable farewell, that truly reflects the person whose life you are celebrating and farewelling.

Our experienced team of funeral directors, celebrants and staff will ensure everything you have chosen will be executed exactly as you wish, making your loved ones’ funeral the perfect send off they deserve!
