Funerals are a very important part of the Aboriginal culture and a gateway to the Dreamtime for their loved ones.
At Something Beautiful Remains, we are a trusted and culturally sensitive Aboriginal funeral service provider.
We know that, after someone passes away, that person becomes a sacred object to the Aboriginal people.
We honour and respect Aboriginal beliefs about death and the process of transition into the Dreamtime.
We have worked with many members of the Aboriginal community in helping to farewell their loved ones from their Country to the Land of the Dead or the Sky World.

Aboriginal burials
At Something Beautiful Remains, we understand that, in Aboriginal culture, funerals and Sorry Business are very much a communal activity.
If you are looking to arrange an Aboriginal funeral service you may wish to have many families, friends and members of the larger community come together to grieve and support each other.
We understand the significance of customs, gender needs and protocols. We respect and honour these beliefs and the very nature of our personalised funeral services ensures that we do not impose any “standard” funeral ritual on our valued customers.
Ask us how we can arrange a funeral that takes into account the individual preferences of an Aboriginal community member in a culturally safe manner.

Aboriginal cultural practices
Aboriginal families can choose either burial or cremation to lay their loved-one to rest.
Traditional burials can prove to be cost prohibitive, and we can help by liaising, on your behalf, with Local and State Land Councils, all government departments, and financial institutions.
If there are pieces of art, such as family totems, natural landscapes, significant locations or traditional memorabilia that you wish to use as a token of remembrance, we can ensure we integrate these details into your funeral services to best honour the deceased.
We understand that the rituals and practices marking the death of an Aboriginal person are likely to be unique to each community, and each community will have their own ways of planning the funeral.
Something Beautiful Remains is an Aboriginal funeral director of choice for Aboriginal groups looking to preserve their traditions during the funeral process so that the spirit of the deceased is not disturbed.
Cultural respect and appreciation
At Something Beautiful Remains, we are aware of the wide variation in Aboriginal culture which means that modern Aboriginal funerals can take many different forms.
All significant members of the family are encouraged to engage in the decision-making process.
At Something Beautiful Remains, we are honoured to assist you to observe your ceremonies and rituals as you farewell the soul of your departed loved one. We can ensure details such as colours, themes, songs and dances are carried out to your specific wishes. We recommend and support Aboriginal suppliers and artists, and employ Aboriginal staff.
