FuneralSmart™ – Independent Funeral Price & Comparison Guide for Australia

Helping Australians Make Informed Funeral Decisions

FuneralSmart is an independent Australian funeral comparison and pricing guide designed to help families understand funeral costs, compare funeral directors, and make informed decisions — before pressure or emotion takes over.

We exist to bring clarity to an industry that is often difficult to navigate at a time of grief.

FuneralSmart does not provide funeral services.

We help Australians understand funeral prices, options, and differences, so they can choose what is right for their family.

Why FuneralSmart Exists

For many families, arranging a funeral is something they have never done before.

They are often required to make quick decisions while emotionally vulnerable, without:

  • Clear pricing
  • Easy comparisons
  • An understanding of what is optional versus essential

FuneralSmart was created to address this gap by providing:

  • Clear explanations of funeral costs
  • Independent price guidance
  • Fair comparison tools
  • Plain-English funeral education

Our role is to inform first — not sell first.

Independent, Not Owned by Funeral Homes

FuneralSmart is not owned by a funeral company and is not a funeral director.

We are independent.

This means:

  • We do not control funeral prices
  • We do not set funeral packages
  • We do not pressure families to choose a particular provider

Our content and pricing guides are based on real funeral director price lists, typical market pricing, and publicly available information — not advertising claims.

This independence allows FuneralSmart to act as a neutral reference point for funeral costs in Australia.

How FuneralSmart Helps Families

FuneralSmart supports families by providing:

Funeral price guidance

We publish realistic funeral price ranges based on typical costs across Australia, including cremation and burial options.

These are benchmarks, not quotes, designed to help families understand what is reasonable before requesting prices.

Funeral director comparisons

Families can compare funeral directors by location and service type, helping them understand differences in pricing, services, and approach.

Funeral education and guides

We provide clear guides on topics such as:

  • Cremation and burial options
  • Funeral planning
  • Understanding funeral fees
  • What happens after someone dies

This information helps families ask the right questions, not rush decisions.

Transparency Matters

FuneralSmart believes transparency is essential.

Many advertised funeral prices do not include:

  • After-hours transfers
  • Cremation or cemetery fees
  • Administrative or compliance costs
  • Optional services that families later feel pressured to add

Our goal is to explain what is typically included and what is not, so families are not surprised later.

Transparency builds trust — and trust matters most at this time.

Who FuneralSmart Is For

FuneralSmart is designed for:

  • Families arranging a funeral now
  • People planning ahead
  • Anyone wanting to understand funeral costs before they need to

Whether you are organising a funeral immediately or simply seeking information, FuneralSmart provides clarity without obligation.

Our Role in the Funeral Industry

FuneralSmart does not replace funeral directors.

We support better outcomes by:

  • Encouraging informed conversations
  • Helping families compare fairly
  • Reducing confusion around pricing
  • Promoting transparency and choice

Funeral directors provide the service.

FuneralSmart provides the understanding.

Powered by eziFunerals

FuneralSmart is powered by eziFunerals, Australia’s independent funeral planning and comparison platform.

eziFunerals provides the underlying research, data, and industry expertise that support FuneralSmart’s pricing guides and educational content.

Importantly, FuneralSmart operates independently in how information is presented. FuneralSmart does not provide funeral services, does not set funeral prices, and does not promote individual funeral providers.

Compare Funeral Costs and Options

If you would like to see how funeral prices compare in your area, FuneralSmart allows you to explore options without pressure.

Important Disclaimer

FuneralSmart is an information and comparison platform only.

We do not provide funeral services and do not set funeral prices.

All pricing information is indicative and intended as a general guide. Actual funeral costs depend on location, timing, availability, and individual choices.
