What a rain storm! This blue-tongue decided it was time for a little chapel visit. Probably just here for the good vibes (and dry floors)! 🦎💙

The annual Christmas Remembrance Service is coming up on SUNDAY, December 7 at 1.30pm in the Balaklava Funeral Chapel. Everyone is invited to attend to remember those family and friends we have lost, whether it be a recent loss, or many years ago.
And it doesn't matter whether Taylor & Forgie Funeral Directors looked after your family at that time or not - everyone is welcome to join us for this special service.
There will be a time in the service where you can hang a card (with a special message written to your loved one) on our remembrance tree (pictured is the tree from last year's service), but if you forget to bring one or don't have one, it's ok - we will have some at the chapel which you can write in on the day.
There will be light refreshments in the chapel after the service.
For catering purposes or for any queries, please contact Louise on 8862 2101 by December 5.

It's a glorious day for the annual Balaklava Show - it's not too late to head over to Ralli Park for some family fun!
Some of the early crowd has headed home to eat some delicious Lions donuts while watching the AFL grand final!
Well done to all of the organisers of the Show!

The new free puzzle books are out - if you would like some, please contact local Funeral Director, Louise Michael on 8862 2101. If your business/club would like to stock some to, please contact Louise to organise delivery to you. The puzzle books, complete with crosswords, sudoku, word finds, quizzes, and colouring pictures, are a great way to pass a few hours. Perhaps solve the puzzles over a coffee with a friend?
The book also has some helpful articles on grief and funerals.

Louise and colleague Sarah are pictured nutting out some crosswords in the latest edition.

Our Story

Durdin Funerals was started back in the 1920s in Hamley Bridge by local builder W.H. Durdin. In the 1960’s Durdins acquired Ahrns Bros Funerals in Balaklava, expanding to care for families in both Hamley Bridge and Balaklava. His grandson Warren took over the business in the early 1980’s.

Durdin & Forgie Family Funeral Directors was established in 2003 when Durdin Funerals became part of Taylor & Forgie in Gawler. This marked a period of investment in facilities at the Scotland street premises with a new 110-seat chapel being constructed and improved community services.

While many things have changed since the 1920’s, the human, caring, attentive service side of the business remains the same, and will always be of paramount importance. Arranging and carrying out a funeral that best helps families cope and assists with the adjustments that must be made, is of vital importance. Very high standards are expected of all staff resulting in a reputation for funeral excellence. Durdin & Forgie Family Funeral Directors prides itself on being a caring and compassionate, family-owned and operated business.

Our male and female professional funeral directors are available at all hours, 7 days. They will give you a full range of options and attend to all requirements personally:
