Personalised Funeral Services

Making funeral arrangements can be a confronting experience and our professional consultants will guide you through the process. At Shakespeare Funerals, we aim to build a relationship with our client families. It is through this relationship that we will gain an understanding of your requirements/needs and will work with you to tailor a personal and individualised funeral service.


There are many elements that affect the cost of a funeral, and these elements will vary according to each family's individual needs. It’s important to understand the process and the fees involved and how your choices affect these fees. After we have met with you and discussed your requirements, we will provide you with a written estimate of costs.


Please feel free to contact our consultants in Dubbo on (02) 6882 2434. We are happy to speak with you regarding your wishes and requirements.
