Evermore Funerals was started by three Brisbane locals - each with experience in different, but related fields. One of them comes from the aged care sector, one from the medical/health sector, and one from the funeral industry. This business was started as a response to two main concerns: (1) the high prices charged by many funeral companies (many of which are very wealthy). (2) the cold, impersonal service that many experience when dealing with funeral care providers. While no funeral company is perfect, we are strongly committed to providing genuinely caring funeral services at compassionate prices. We are proud of the funeral care we've already provided to hundreds of families facing loss. Recently, Evermore Funerals was asked to assist with the funeral of someone known to Matthew, our Operations Manager. A 51-year-old man by the name of Toby Nicholas had passed away after a long and brave battle with a rare medical condition. We were able to assist the family, make all the a...

There are a few steps involved in acquiring a Death Certificate. A significant amount of information about the deceased is required, which needs to be recorded and confirmed. This information is placed into a QLD Government portal, and the Death Certificate is requested. However, somewhere along the line, a mistake might happen. It could be that something was misspelled, or that the information typed into the government portal wasn't entirely accurate. Either way, sometimes a family will need the Death Certificate to be corrected and reissued. In some cases, the Registry of Births, Deaths, and Marriages will require copies of documents which confirm the requested change is necessary. If such evidence cannot be produced, then it is usually necessary for the family to complete a QLD Statutory Declaration. On this document, you will need to explain clearly what information is incorrect, why the incorrect information appeared at all, and what the correct information is. Your Funeral D...

Prepaid Funerals - a Popular Choice It makes a lot of sense to pre-arrange and pre-pay for your funeral care. Prepaid funerals (including direct, 'no service' cremations) involve planning and establishing funeral expenses ahead of time, ensuring that all necessary preparations are handled prior to one's passing. Doing this has become increasingly popular. At Evermore Funerals, we offer straightforward and transparent prepaid funeral plans. As a locally owned business with deep community values, we are committed to assisting people in arranging the services they require. So what are the benefits of prepaying a funeral or direct cremation? Pay now, and save While funeral costs continue to increase, prepaying for your funeral arrangements means you can lock in those costs at today's prices. Flexible Options for Payment When prepaying, you can choose to either pay the full amount in one lump sum, or in manageable instalments. Peace of Mind A prepaid funeral can reduce the a...

Most people who pass away in Australia are cremated. Currently, nearly 75% of all deceased persons are cremated. Conventional cremators (like those pictured above) operate at very high temperatures to ensure a person's remains are processed as quickly as possible. However, these high temperatures can create a safety risk if the deceased person has an implanted device which contains a battery. These devices can include pacemakers, defibrillators, and spinal stimulation (pain management) implants. When exposed to high temperatures, the internal pressure within the device itself can build to the point where it explodes within the cremator itself - damaging equipment and potentially injuring crematorium staff. Before a cremation can take place, it must be ascertained if the deceased has one of these implanted devices. If so, it will need to be removed by a professional mortuary technician or qualified embalmer. An independent doctor will also examine the deceased before they are app...

When it comes to funeral-related topics, there are numerous terms and phrases that may initially seem confusing. One area of confusion is the difference between a "funeral" and a "memorial". These terms are used interchangeably sometimes. However, they are not necessarily the same. Generally speaking, a funeral is a gathering where family and friends will come together to mourn, remember and celebrate the life of a person who has recently passed away. It is often a formal gathering where the coffin is present, people are seated in rows of chairs, memories may be shared (including a eulogy), and the coffin may even be conveyed outside at the end of the service. The coffin will be taken from the church/chapel for either a burial or cremation after the funeral. Sometimes, those attending the funeral will continue to gather after the service for refreshments. A memorial is often very similar to a funeral. People will gather, and memories will be shared. However, memori...
