Your funeral director can guide you through the many options for the funeral service: Personalising the funeral, choice of venue, creative options - memorial bookmarks, photographic memory dvd, music selections.
A personalised funeral is a service that touches everyone present, celebrates the life of the deceased, and what they lived for. The service brings meaning to the attendees allowing them to remember how that person touched their lives.
Jonathan Hepner Funerals provides a wide range of coffins and caskets. It is a personal choice often determined by a preference of style or colour. Our range includes choices of solid timber, craft wood with timber and paper veneer and metal caskets. Families may select their choice from our display book, IPad or our selection room within our funeral home.

If the death is expected & your loved one is in a nursing facility or hospital, the staff will contact the doctor & you will advised to engage the assistance of a funeral director. We liaise with the hospital or nursing facility & family members, to arrange to have your loved one transferred into our care. Some families choose to spend some time with their loved one if this is convenient to-do so, & from our perspective we will bring your loved one into our care when you feel ready for us to do.
Depending on the circumstances of the death the State Coroner's office may be involved. If the death is the result of an accident or occurs suddenly or unexpectedly at home, the police and coroner will initially be involved and you will be advised to engage the assistance of a funeral director. We have the experience, care and compassion to support your family throughout this difficult time. Please visit our website for more information.
Your first contact should be with your doctor who will attend and assess the circumstances of the death. If your family member has been ill and the doctor is satisfied with the cause of death, and is willing to sign a death certificate, you can call us to arrange to bring your loved one into our care. If the death occurs suddenly or there is not a history of illness, the police and state coroner's office will be advised and involved in the same manner as we have described above.
Your loved one will be in the care of the State Coroner located in South Melbourne while the circumstances or cause of death are ascertained. This is a necessary requirement and an important process and while it is traumatic for families at the time, it often gives relief later when the coroner advises your family on their findings. A person is required to be formally identified. Please visit our website for more information.
