One of the first decisions many families face when planning a funeral is whether to choose burial or cremation. It can feel like a significant choice, but there is no right or wrong option...only what feels most meaningful for you and your family.
🌿 Burial
For some families, burial offers comfort in having a permanent place to visit and remember their loved one. Finney Funeral Services is conveniently located next door to Carr Villa Cemetery, Launceston’s oldest and most established cemetery. Our team can also assist with arrangements for interment in cemeteries throughout Tasmania, depending on your family’s wishes.
🌼 Cremation
Cremation can offer flexibility in how a life is remembered. Some families choose a special urn for the home or a memorial space, while others may scatter ashes in a place that held personal meaning.
Finney Funeral Services operates a private crematorium at Franklin Grove in Youngtown, allowing your loved one to remain in our care throughout the process.
Whatever path you choose, our role is to gently guide you through the options and support you in creating a farewell that feels right for your family.
