About Mackay Gentle Way Funerals
Mackay Gentle Way Funerals began with a conversation many Mackay families know too well — a goodbye that cost too much, moved too fast, and left too little room to grieve.
We set out to do it differently: to offer compassionate, flexible farewells at a fair price, with the time and honesty every family deserves. From traditional burials to our gentle water-based alternative, we meet you where you are.
Today we're proud to be a locally owned funeral home servicing Mackay & the Whitsundays, with offices in Mackay and Proserpine — day and night, in whatever way you need.
Our values
Compassion first
We listen more than we speak. Your family sets the pace, and we follow with patience and warmth.

Transparent pricing and plain language. No upselling, no surprises — ever.
Gentle on the earth
Eco-conscious options, including water-based farewells, for families who want a lighter footprint.
