PRICING.
When planning a funeral through Rite of Passage Funerals, no two funerals are the same; each is as unique as the person we’re honouring. At the same time we’d like to provide as much clarity and transparency as we can in terms of our pricing, ahead of arranging a meeting to talk through your needs in detail.
After meeting with one of our Funeral Planners, we provide you with an itemised quote so there are no hidden costs or surprises down the track, staying true to our commitment to price transparency.
To make this process as seamless as possible, we’ve created a simple and affordable basics package that covers the essentials, and then you can add on from there. After you’ve met with one of our experienced Funeral Planners and know all your options, together we can curate the service according to your needs.
