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...

The word eulogy comes from the Greek word eulogia , which means ‘praise’ or ‘thanks’. A eulogy is a written or spoken speech given in honour of a deceased person.

 If someone you care about passes away in hospital, here is a rough guide to the steps that will happen from that point: Medical staff will confirm that your loved one has passed. You (family) will be notified . In some cases, you can visit your loved one immediately after they have passed to say farewell and express your love for them. After this, they will be taken to the hospital's mortuary area, where they will be kept until they are collected by the Funeral Director. The family make contact with a Funeral Director of their choosing, or one that had been previously arranged. We strongly recommend you ring a few Funeral Directors and compare their services, prices, and online reviews. If you choose our caring team at Evermore Funerals, here is what's next . . . We will collect some essential details from you: the name, date of birth, residential address, and current location of the deceased. We'll also ask for your contact details. We will text or email you an "...

Recently someone working at an aged care facility in Queensland told us an upsetting story. A family lost a dear loved one (who was being cared for at this aged care facility), and they called a well-known funeral company to collect their deceased family member. This funeral company is generally well-regarded, has competitive prices, and is constantly advertising their services. They received the phone call from this family early one morning, and were instructed to bring this person into their care. How long do you think it took this company to send a team of funeral professionals to collect this deceased person? Two hours? Four hours? Maybe eight hours? No. This popular funeral company took more than 10 hours to arrive at the facility! While this could be a rare exception in their case, it is certainly concerning. Be assured that this delay was not the fault of the aged care facility . Nor was it the fault of the family. This funeral company couldn't get a qualified team to the f...

Losing someone you love is one of the most difficult things you can face. The sadness and sense of loss can feel overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, such a difficult time can be made even more difficult when you realise how many decisions you have to make : cremation or burial? Is it a private service, or is it open to anyone? Are you going to order flowers? Which funeral director should I call? Does the deceased have a will? And the list goes on! There are many decisions to make during the difficult time after someone has passed. One of them - if you're choosing cremation - is what to do with the ashes . Some people scatter them, some people place them in a memorial wall at a crematorium, and many people will memorialise their loved one by placing their ashes in an urn. There are many options for buying urns online. One reputable supplier of urns is based here in Brisbane. They stock an extensive range of urn and keepsakes in all sizes, shapes and colours.
