Cannonvale is home to more than 6,500 people (2021 census) — young families, retirees and long-time locals side by side between Cannonvale Beach and the hills. The Gentle Way Funerals serves Cannonvale from our Proserpine office, with warm, practical support and prices you can see before you call.
Local help, any hour
From Cannonvale Beach to Jubilee Pocket and the estates behind Shute Harbour Road, we come to you. We collect your loved one from home, aged care or Proserpine Hospital, meet you at your kitchen table to plan the farewell, and handle every form with the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
St Martin’s & community venues
St Martin’s Church on St Martins Road is shared by Catholic and Lutheran congregations and used by other local church groups, making it a familiar place for many Cannonvale farewells. We also arrange services at community halls, clubs, the beachfront, or at home — wherever feels right for your family.
Supporting young families
With Cannonvale State School and Whitsunday Christian College at the centre of community life, many of the families we help have children who are grieving too. We can suggest gentle ways to include children in the service and point you to local support through Whitsunday Community Health on Altmann Street.
Burial, cremation & keeping them close
There is no cemetery in Cannonvale itself; burials are held at Proserpine Cemetery on Crystal Brook Road. Many Cannonvale families choose a water cremation instead and keep the ashes at home, place them in a council columbarium wall, or scatter them along the coast they love.
Honest, published pricing
Our Simple Farewell water cremation starts from $2,640 and our Gentle Funeral Service is $5,500, each fully itemised, with no travel surcharge for Cannonvale and the rest of the Whitsundays. If you would like to plan ahead, recording your wishes with us is free.
Nearby: we also care for families in Airlie Beach, Jubilee Pocket and Proserpine and surrounding districts.
