EMBALMING

Embalming is an important custom for many cultures and families. Embalming is a process of preserving your loved one by using special solutions.

There are occasions where embalming is needed for hygienic purposes, to preserve the natural appearance of the deceased, especially if the deceased is being transferred interstate or overseas. Having your loved one embalmed is also necessary if they will be laid to rest in an above ground mausoleum.

If you wish to have your loved ones embalmed, RJ Sidney Craig Funeral Directors have licensed embalmers who are authorised to perform embalming. We are certified members of the Australian Institute of Embalming.

Our state-of-the-art, in-house embalming facility adheres to the necessary professional standards set by the industry.

CHOOSING A CASKET OR A COFFIN

Selecting a coffin or a casket for your departed loved one is usually a matter of personal preference. The major point of difference is in the design. A casket is rectangular throughout, while a coffin is tapered on both ends and widens at the shoulders.

We have a variety of caskets and coffins in different styles that you may choose from. Get in touch to discuss your needs, and how we are able to assist you, today.
