Our dedicated funeral assistants handle many of the quiet but essential tasks behind the scenes. They prepare service spaces thoughtfully, organise equipment and materials, arrange floral tributes, provide mortuary care with dignity, maintain vehicles, and ensure every detail is in place so each service runs smoothly and respectfully.

Then & Now
Our team recently discovered this beautiful historic photo of the Vincent Funerals Parklands Chapel in Burnie, featuring the original ‘Glendessie’ house, taken shortly after the chapel was built in 1969.
We recreated the photo today, and it’s incredible to see just how much our Norfolk Pine has grown since it was planted by John Vincent all those years ago.
Proudly honouring our history and traditions, while continuing to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our community today.

Complimentary words of thanks for the quality care and professionalism of arranger, Peta Ingles, our live streaming facilities bringing families together, and celebrant, Denise Wotherspoon.

Dear Peter and Senior Team

Recently our family was please to choose Vincents to farewell our mother, Berris Barnes, in Burnie. Family in attendance were extremely happy with the Service held on Friday 30th January, as well as those who watched remotely from interstate.

My siblings and I, along with our spouses, had met with Peta Ingles who patiently helped us to navigate all that was required to prepare for the farewell. Peta gave us clear options and advice as to what the family needed to act on, promptly following up with further details when requested. We found Peta to be very comfortable to deal and never once made us feel like we had asked the proverbial ‘stupid question’. We want to commend Peta for her professional but warm and caring manner.

The family and many attendees at the Service also commented on the outstanding role that Denise Wotherspoon, the Celebrant, played. Denise listened to our stories and threaded a lovely commentary together from our draft input that well reflected Mum’s life and storyline. Her skill with words is very special.

Kind regards and thanks
Jill Don

There are many options to consider in deciding what suits you and your family when it comes time to saying a final goodbye.

A funeral allows family and friends to gather, reflect and grieve. There are many positive outcomes from a funeral for those living and how they move forward in life.
Burial or cremation. Public or private. Church, venue or a favourite garden. It is important to consider what makes a funeral honour the individual. We can guide you through these options.

However, a funeral does not suit all people or situations.
A direct cremation is where no funeral service is held. As there is no funeral service, it’s important for those grieving who choose a direct cremation, that they do something that gives them the opportunity to remember, honour and celebrate the person who has died. Some ideas are a memorial service later, lighting a candle, a gathering with family when ashes are scattered.

We are here to guide you through the options that suits you and your loved ones.
Call us for a chat or book an appointment.

A personal touch yesterday at our Garden Chapel. The 'Gawler Moles' sewing and quilting club paid tribute to their much-loved friend Glenda by preparing a stunning arrangement of flowers for her coffin. They also brought along a large tray of beautiful corsages that they had made for mourners to place as they paid their respects at the conclusion of the service.

The art of letter writing is a thing of the past, but Gaylene received one and loved it.
Gaylene had taken a call from Betty and realising her need for help finding a plaque for a relative, she investigated and arranged a map and photo which she mailed out. Gaylene makes wonderful connections with people and always goes that extra mile to help. Thank you, and well done Gaylene.
