We understand the extra support you need right now. Let us help you do the right thing by your loved one, with a final farewell that reflects who they were and what they meant to those around them. Our grounded, down to earth yet experienced approach, is appreciated by families seeking peace of mind. Our genuine value stems from 1st Class service at an affordable rate.

Funerals can be confusing – we simplify the process, and make it more meaningful for you. We’re committed to this personal service because we care about you and your family.

Let us help you share, honour and celebrate your loved one’s life.

We don’t force people into a ‘standard package’ like many others do. Instead we offer competitively priced, tailored services. You’ll be backed by a Second-Generation Funeral Director, and over two decades experience in supporting grieving families. Let us help you take care of all the details and arrangements, and assist you in making the decisions that need to be made.

When you trust us to help you plan a funeral, we will gently guide you through the entire process, and the many different considerations involved. As a result, the daunting task of arranging a loved one’s funeral becomes a little easier. No stuffy Funeral Home visit is required by you. We come to you in the comfort and familiarity of your home to help ease any added burden.

Crane Funerals exists to help people provide their loved one with a meaningful send-off. We genuinely care about our clients, and our approach is always kind, genuine and respectful.

Crane Funerals supports various charities. When you work with us to celebrate your loved one’s life, you too help support worthwhile Community causes, and people in need.

    Damian was absolutely wonderful in his guidance and support at this difficult time. I felt I knew what was going on every step of the way from the time I initially contacted him to the actual day of the funeral. His team were also lovely and very respectful. I would highly recommend Crane Funerals when the need arises and would use them again without hesitation.

    If we could add more stars we would.
    We recently found ourselves looking for Funeral Directors for my Dad’s Funeral. We went to the big names but we didn’t feel a connection. We met with Damian and felt instantly that Crane Funerals would be the right people. Damian was so genuine and listened to everything that we said with patience and sincerity.
    The service was a continuation of this. At no time did Crane take over, they were there when we needed them and then blended into the background when we didn’t. Having been to many Funeral services where the Directors are quite prominent during the service, the way Crane Funeral handled our service was exactly what we were looking for. I’m not sure whether other Funeral Directors follow up after the service but Damian certainly did.
    We had a few requests after the Funeral and Damian was more than happy to help us. As difficult as the day was, my Dad would have loved his Farewell and we say thanks to Crane for getting us through one of the many difficult stages of losing someone.

    Dear Damian, You’ve done an excellent work in helping me and my family for dad’s funeral. You are recommended by mom’s friend who is a head nurse in a nursing home. That moment I called you – I do not know what to do during that difficult time, you’ve been very helpful, understanding, professional and compassionate. You have turned our moment of misery to magic – for giving dad a great, well-deserved “send off” – it was personalised, sincere and heartfelt.

    Damian – from the bottom of hearts, we thank you and may God bless you and your team. Great service!

    I highly recommend Crane Funerals as we have experienced great care from Damian and his team, reasonable price, flawless service. See you soon Damian! – For a cuppa!

    Damian equally loves his job and all the people he deals with making the most difficult time of when my mum passed away calming for all my family. To find someone who genuinely cares made the whole experience something I will always treasure.

    It is with much pleasure that I write this reference for Damian Meehan. Damian and I were work colleagues for quite some time with a Melbourne based Funeral Company.

    I found Damian to be an extremely likeable and caring person. He has built many lasting relationships not only with his work mates, but with the families of deceased persons. Damian has a knack with being able to help people in their time of need.

    Damian has skills far beyond the basic funeral care. He is a fully qualified embalmer and he takes pride in all his work in the mortuary and on funerals.

    You can be sure of getting a professional and caring funeral should you decide to employ the services of Damian and his Company. We wish Damian all the best with Crane Funeral Services.

    Damien helped with a funeral for my father. After looking at a few options for funerals I picked Damian based on the positive reviews on this website. Comparing prices with the other quotations Crane Funerals were on the lower cost side however price was not our main focus, we wanted someone to arrange a beautiful funeral for us. Our whole family were very appreciative of the way Damian helped organise our funeral and did so with a supporting, caring & friendly manner. Damian did all the difficult work arranging what to do with our loved one before and after the funeral, and was there every step of the way to help with planning the ceremony (working with & allowing us freedom to choose how we wanted the ceremony to go on the day) Our funeral went smoothly & exactly as planned, and we gave our dad a beautiful “send off” and celebration of life…..thankyou Damian

    Damian from Crane Funerals helped me and my family bury our mother a few weeks ago.
    Damian’s care and understanding for everything was evident in his gentle manner from our first meeting.
    Nothing was any trouble for him and he kept in touch regularly during the preparations for the funeral.
    Everything happened smoothly on the day and things went as well as anyone would want them to.
    The funeral was moderately priced but the service provided by Damien was excellent.
    He has my highest recommendation.
