Funeral services in Killarney

Rest Funerals & Death Care provides funeral and cremation services for families in Killarney and the surrounding districts, including Tannymorel, Mount Colliery and Upper Freestone.

We’re based on the Southern Downs and regularly assist families throughout the region, providing an independent alternative to the traditional approach to funeral care.

A funeral in Killarney doesn’t have to cost the earth. Whether you’re considering a traditional burial, a cremation with a service, or a simple Bare Cremation, you have choices about how you say goodbye.

Funeral care for Killarney families

When someone dies, you don’t have to simply follow a standard funeral package.

You can choose a cardboard casket or an oak coffin. You can choose burial or cremation. You can have a funeral service, a memorial or no formal service at all.

You can also be involved in the farewell in ways that may not be offered by a traditional funeral provider. You may want to help decorate a cardboard casket, spend time with your person at home, or involve family and friends in creating the farewell.

We can explain the options and help you decide what works for your family.

Farewelling close to home

Many Killarney families have lived in the district for generations, and a funeral is often a time when extended family, neighbours and old friends come together.

You might want a service at a local church, a gathering at the graveside, or a celebration of life at a hall or club in town. We’re happy to help you hold the farewell where it feels right.

If you choose cremation, the cremation itself takes place outside the Southern Downs, but your service or memorial can still be held right here in Killarney.

A funeral your way

We believe families should have genuine choice when arranging a funeral in Killarney.

Money shouldn’t be a barrier to a dignified farewell, and choosing a simpler funeral doesn’t make it less meaningful.

For some families, a Bare Cremation may be the right choice. For others, a traditional burial with a graveside service may be what they want. There are many possibilities in between.

Our role is to help you understand what is possible and support the choices you make.

You know how you should say goodbye better than anyone else.
