The following Recommended Price List (RPL) includes a basic set of fees and services provided by Funeral Home Partners. Our RPL does not include fixed government and private Cemetery/Crematorium costs and optional extras. Actual funeral price will vary across Australia depending on your State, location, crematorium/cemetery selection, choice of funeral home and individual circumstances.
