Bowen is the oldest town in North Queensland, famed for its beaches, its mangoes and its Big Mango. Families here have deep roots in fishing, farming and the salt works. From our Proserpine office, The Gentle Way Funerals gives Bowen families a genuinely local funeral director with honest, published prices.
