South Mackay is one of the city’s oldest residential areas, stretching from the Pioneer River down toward Paget and Ooralea. Many families here have lived in the same streets for decades, and Mackay Gentle Way Funerals is honoured to serve them with the respect that kind of history deserves.
Across the river in minutes
From our North Mackay funeral home, South Mackay is just across the Forgan Bridge. We reach families in South Mackay, Paget and along Bridge Road quickly, and we are happy to meet you at home rather than asking you to travel to us.
Established churches & community halls
South Mackay is home to long-standing parishes and community groups. We regularly arrange services at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, South Mackay Uniting, the Mackay Showgrounds pavilions and the South Mackay Sports Club, as well as graveside services at the heritage-listed Mackay Cemetery in West Mackay.
Caring for older residents
With a higher proportion of long-time and older residents, South Mackay families often come to us for pre-planning as well as at-need care. We help you record your wishes, lock in prices and take the pressure off your children — with no obligation to pre-pay.
Simple, honest options
Whether your family prefers a traditional burial with a coffin and graveside service, or a gentle water cremation with a memorial afterwards, every choice is available at fixed, itemised prices.
Nearby: we also care for families in Paget, Ooralea and East Mackay and surrounding districts.
