Funeral care: this time it's personal

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...

Can I make corrections to the Death Certificate?

Image
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...

Why remove PACEMAKERS before a cremation?

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...

What is a Scattering Tube?

Image
What is a scattering tube? Essentially, a scattering tube is a durable cardboard tube which is specifically designed to make the scattering of cremated remains ('ashes') easier. The ashes are placed within the tube, and the ashes can be released by removing the lid and piercing the circular opening at the top of the cylinder (see picture below, where someone is about to open this circular opening with their thumb). Scattering tubes come in many colours and sizes. If the ashes need to be divided between various family members, the ashes can be split equally between smaller scattering tubes. If you'd like to know more you can visit our main supplier of scattering tubes, Final Touch, who are based in Brisbane. You can see their range on page 48 of their online catalogue here: https://www.flipsnack.com/finaltouchaustralia/keep-your-memories-close-urn-catalogue-2025-v13/full-view.html If you'd like to know how much they cost, please contact us on 07 3544 6880 or email admin@...
