Thank you for your kind words. Messages like these remind us why we do what we do ❤️

“From the beginning of my contact with Salvos Funerals, I received compassionate, kind, and patient assistance. The level of professionalism and humanity was exceptional.

Salvos Funerals exceeded all expectations I had in a funeral service upon the passing of my mother. They treated me like part of their family rather than a client and the service I received was above and beyond.

A level of care and support I will never forget.

The time and care shown to my mother and myself was beautiful through a difficult process. Even down to the direct cremation.

I can’t thank the team enough for the kindness and gentle care shown.” — Clare (NSW)

Every farewell deserves dignity, respect and a personal touch.

We’re honoured to walk alongside families during one of life’s most difficult times — creating services that reflect love, faith and the unique story of each life.

At this particular service, Normie Rowe, a famous Australian singer and songwriter was in attendance (and shared his memories) as Peter Carroll, the deceased, was a guitarist of the Playboys band.

Every funeral is different, and sometimes the most meaningful ones are those that reflect the personality, humour and spirit of the person being remembered.

Megan and Allison tell the story of a special moment that reminded them joy can exist alongside grief.

From ‘bean counter’ to undertaker — Malcolm’s unexpected calling

In 2012, Malcolm Pittendrigh was working in finance with The Salvation Army’s Aged Care team when he asked a bold question around the boardroom table:

“What if we offered funerals?”

That spark of an idea — guided by prayer, research, and compassion — became “Salvos Funerals”.

Since launching, Malcolm has helped lead a service that has supported more than 4,000 families with affordable, dignified care during one of life’s most vulnerable moments.

Now operating across NSW, ACT, Melbourne, Perth and Southeast Queensland, Salvos Funerals continues to grow — grounded in compassion.

“The Lord equipped me accordingly and instilled in me a passion for serving families in this way.”

You might feel denial, anger, sadness, or ask “What if?” — and then feel all of it again the next day. These are known as the five stages of grief, and they don’t follow a neat timeline.

What matters is knowing: Your feelings are valid. You’re not alone.
