Funeral Services in Lithgow & Surrounds

When someone dies, you may not know what to do first, who to call or what decisions need to be made.

Locally Owned Funeral Directors in Lithgow

Something Beautiful Remains Funeral Services is locally owned and operated in Lithgow. We are an independent funeral service, not a corporate chain, and our approach is personal, transparent and shaped around the family in front of us.

Our Main Street office gives local families a place to ask questions, talk through options and understand what is possible. The office may not always be manned, as we may be with families or away arranging services, so it is best to call first if you would like to visit.

Even if the office is unattended, we are still available. If someone has passed away, or you are worried and unsure what to do next, please call.

Funeral Care That Feels Personal, Not Generic

A funeral should feel like the person you are remembering. Some families want something traditional and quiet. Others want colour, music, humour, cultural detail, personal objects, handmade pieces or something completely unexpected.

We can help you create a farewell that reflects your loved one’s life, values, culture, relationships and personality. That may include a simple cremation, a burial, a full funeral service, a memorial, a custom coffin or urn, or small personal details that make the service feel like them.

"No two people are the same - their funerals shouldn't be either."

Caryn has been a close friend since working together over 15 years ago. I can attest to her professionalism, creativity, integrity and compassion. Luckily, I have not personally needed her funeral services to date but having witnessed Caryn's care and concern for others, I know she will treat you with the respect and kindness of a cherished family member. Since opening the new office in Lithgow to better serve the Blue Mountains region Caryn and Phil have also quickly engaged to champion and support promotion of local businesses and the unique attractions of the area. We have delighted in watching her grow in the competitive funeral director market, impressed by her attention to detail and genuine empathy. I can wholeheartedly endorse Something Beautiful Remains Funeral Services.

This is the first time I have had to plan a funeral and it was for my beautiful mother. Caryn helped me out so much, she took all the stress and worry of planing a funeral away, im so thankful for Caryn as she done an absolutely beautiful job. She took care of everything that needed to be done while I got to griev with my family and not have any stress or worries about what had to be done. I highly recommend caryn and her lovely team. Caryn treats you like family and make sure everything you want is done. My mother got the most beautiful send off to the dream time. I'm so thankful for Caryn and her services.

Having lost a person dearest to me to a sudden death at such a young age, I was at a lost of what to do, how to put together a funeral and the cost involved. Caryn was very helpful from the very beginning in providing practical advises such as what to consider between cremation and burial, locations, how to make sure that I chose what feels right for me and my family, and many more. In such short time span we achieved what I wanted. Caryn and Phil made little touches that made the funeral to be a beautiful send off and memorable one. Thank you Caryn in guiding me through a vulnerable time.

Caryn's a lovely warm thoughtful lady, her consideration was appreciated by me very much. She added a unique and special touch to my Mothers funeral by making a beautiful floating Lotus Urn for our family to place into the water to send our Mother off in loving, serene and memorable way. I don't believe anyone is able to offer the services Caryn's offers and I recommend her to anyone seeking to have their loved one in considerate caring hands
We recently had to organise our baby son, Viliamu’s funeral. After searching and speaking with several funeral directors, we came across SBR.
Phil was immediately extremely helpful and very sincere. He took over all of the details. Planning a funeral can be a really overwhelming thing but we were so glad Phil was on hand.
He didn’t dismiss our cultural requests and was extremely accomodating. Our baby son was able to spend the night with us before his funeral and we are grateful Phil made it happen.
It was forecast to storm on the day of Vili’s funeral but Phil assured us that “it doesn’t rain on the days of their funerals”
He was right. It was nothing but Blue sky.
Caryn was amazing too and was so very lovely. They even wore beautiful Indigenous designs in tribute of our son. They made sure all the little details were taken care of, including my important Wattle.
We could not have asked for a better send off for our son & we will always be grateful to Phil & Caryn.
We would recommend them to anyone. Thankyou SBR!

Caryn and Phil from SBR Funerals were recommended to my family in a moment of need, and they went absolutely above and beyond to create a memorial service that was custom, sincere, and beautiful and budget friendly. Caryn is so warm, delightful and organised - she really took the stress out or everything! I would never go with any other funeral services provider after using them.
