Funeral planning in Sydney’s southern suburbs often begins during a time of shock and uncertainty. Families are asked to make important decisions while also processing loss. Clear, local guidance can help families feel supported and confident as they move through this process.
Olsens Farewells supports families across Sutherland, Caringbah, Revesby and Bexley North, and also assists families from the St George Basin and Canterbury-Bankstown regions. One of the key differences families notice when working with Olsens is that all funeral services are provided in-house, with care remaining under one trusted team from beginning to end.
Funeral planning includes choosing burial or cremation, deciding on the type of service, arranging a venue, and completing required legal documentation. While this may seem overwhelming, families do not need to make every decision immediately.
A funeral director helps guide families through each step, explaining options clearly and allowing time to reflect.
Many families are not aware that some providers outsource parts of the funeral process. At Olsens, your loved one remains in our care at all times. From the initial transfer, through preparation, viewing, cremation or burial, and final resting arrangements, everything is managed by Olsens’ own team.
This continuity provides reassurance and ensures consistent standards of care, dignity and respect.
Families may choose a traditional funeral, a memorial service, or a private farewell. Services can be religious, non-religious, or culturally specific. The focus is always on honouring the individual and supporting the family.
Because services are handled in-house, families have greater flexibility and clarity around arrangements.
Olsens’ long-standing presence in Sydney’s southern suburbs means families benefit from strong local knowledge. This includes familiarity with local venues, cemeteries, crematoriums and community expectations.
