Service area — Sugar town by the sea — a proud coastal community 35 kilometres south of Mackay.Sarina funerals and funeral services
Sarina is a town with its own character: a sugar mill, a distillery, beautiful beaches and families who have been here for generations. Mackay Gentle Way Funerals gives Sarina and the southern district a caring, locally owned alternative with honest pricing and no travel surcharges.
Serving Sarina & the southern coast
From North Mackay we reach Sarina, Sarina Beach, Armstrong Beach, Campwin Beach and Koumala in about 35 minutes. We collect from Sarina Hospital, aged care and homes across the district at any hour.
Sarina Cemetery & local venues
Sarina Cemetery on Cemetery Road is a peaceful resting place for many local families. Services are often held at St Michael’s Catholic Church, Sarina Uniting, the Sarina Community Church, the Sarina Bowls Club or the RSL. Beachside gatherings at Sarina Beach and Grasstree Beach are popular for scattering ashes.
Mill, farm & sea
Sarina families are shaped by the mill, the cane and the coast. We help create services that reflect that — from a fisherman’s farewell at the boat ramp to a sunrise scattering at Armstrong Beach.
Fair pricing for the district
Our fixed prices apply across Sarina and the southern coast. Simple Farewell water cremation $2,640; Gentle Funeral Service $5,500; Burial Service $5,800 — all itemised.
