Funeral transport, transfers and repatriation in Mackay & the Whitsundays

Respectful transfer into our care

Whenever and wherever a death occurs — at home, in hospital or in care — we bring your loved one into our care promptly, gently and with dignity, 24 hours a day.

The hearse & family transport

On the day of the service we provide a well-presented hearse and can arrange family cars, so you can travel together and be looked after.

Repatriation, near & far

If your loved one needs to travel to or from Mackay — interstate or overseas — we coordinate every step of the repatriation with care and clarity.

From hospital, aged care or home

We bring loved ones into our care from Mackay Base Hospital, the Mater, Proserpine Hospital and aged care homes across the region, working quietly with staff so the transfer is calm and respectful. If a death happens at home, we come to you and give you the time you need.

Across Mackay & the Whitsundays

With offices in North Mackay and Proserpine, we cover the whole region — from Sarina and the Pioneer Valley to Airlie Beach, Bowen and the islands — at our standard published prices.

Interstate & overseas repatriation explained

Moving a loved one interstate or overseas involves permits, airline bookings and, for international journeys, the documents required by the destination country and its consulate. We coordinate with the airline and the receiving funeral director, prepare the paperwork, and keep you informed at every step, wherever you are.

When the coroner is involved

If a death is reported to the coroner, your loved one is first cared for within the coronial system. As soon as they are released, we bring them into our care and let you know straight away, so planning can continue.

Compassionate, affordable care with transparent pricing. Reach out any hour of the day or night.
