Funeral directors & cremations · Cannington & Perth metro
Paperbark Funerals Every cost written down before you decide a thing — the same prices at 3am as 3pm.
A funeral is arranged once, often at the worst hour of the week, usually for the first time. We answer at any hour, come to you, and the itemised ledger arrives before any decision does — transfer, coffin, cremation, certificates, each on its own line. Nothing bundled, nothing gilded.

The Arrangement Ledger
No after-hours loadingChoose, and watch every line ink in. This is the same ledger we email a real family — shown here before anyone asks.

Chapel farewell · select coffin · viewing · flowers — every line itemised below.
Services, with the price beside each one
All-in figures, no after-hours loading — death doesn’t keep office hours and neither does the transfer fee. Where a fee belongs to someone else, we say so and pass it through at cost.
Direct cremations
$2,800 all-in
The ledger arithmetic, in full: transfer & mortuary care $1,150, simple coffin $850, crematorium fee $640, certificates & registration $160. Unattended by design — many families hold their own memorial later, their way.
Chapel farewell services
from $4,250
Everything in a direct cremation, plus sixty minutes in our farewell room or the crematorium chapel ($950) and a celebrant or clergy ($500). The coffin and any add-ons move the figure — the ledger shows exactly how.
Graveside services
$3,910 + cemetery fees at cost
Transfer, simple coffin, certificates, celebrant and full graveside coordination ($1,250). Cemetery fees are set by the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board — we show you the current schedule, never a marked-up guess.
Private viewings
$350
A quiet room, unhurried time, any of our three services — including before a direct cremation. Direct doesn’t mean distant.
Livestream & recording
$300
For the family in Karratha or Kraków who can’t be in the chapel. A steady, quiet stream and a download link that doesn’t expire.
Pre-paid plans
from $2,800 at today’s prices
Your arrangement, at today’s prices, held in a registered pre-paid funeral fund — never our operating account. That’s the law working for you, and we’d show you the fund’s name before you signed anything.
Why the ledger, and not a brochure
WA doesn’t licence funeral directors — no licence exists to hold. Which is exactly why the itemised ledger matters: you shouldn’t have to trust us, you should get to see.
Family owned since 2009
Two directors, one arrangement room in Cannington, and the same two phone voices for seventeen years. No call centre, no franchise playbook.
The 3am price is the 3pm price
The phone is answered by a person at 3am, and the transfer fee is the same as it would be after lunch. No after-hours loading, ever — it’s on the ledger’s first line.
Prices published, not negotiated
Because no licence exists to hold, we publish our prices instead — the whole ledger, on this page, before you’ve told us your name.
Pre-paid money isn’t our money
Pre-paid plans are held in a registered pre-paid funeral fund, never our operating account. We’d show you the fund’s name before you signed anything.
We’ll tell you what you don’t need
If a direct cremation is right for your family, we’ll say so plainly. The dearest package is not the deepest respect — spend on the gathering, not the gilding.
Fees that aren’t ours stay visible
Crematorium and cemetery fees are passed through at cost and shown as their own lines. If a number belongs to the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board, you’ll see their schedule, not our guess.
Families, in their own words
Demonstration copy — on a real site these would be the family’s own words, gathered gently, weeks later.
“The ledger came by email an hour after the first call, and nothing on the final invoice differed from it by a dollar. In that week, that mattered more than I can say.”
Helen · Riverton — arranged her mother’s chapel farewell
“Dad’s transfer at 2am was handled so gently that the night staff at the home commented on it the next morning. The price was exactly what the page said it would be.”
Mark · Thornlie — arranged a direct cremation
“My husband’s pre-paid plan meant the hardest week of my life had exactly zero conversations about money. He’d chosen everything, at prices from four years ago.”
Margaret · Wilson — a pre-paid plan, honoured in full
Based in Cannington, at your door anywhere in metro Perth
The transfer comes to you — any metro hospital, nursing home or private home, any hour. Our arrangement room is in Cannington, beside the Canning River’s paperbarks, but most of the arranging happens at your kitchen table if you’d rather we came to you.
We work every metro crematorium and every Metropolitan Cemeteries Board site — Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo, Midland, Rockingham — and the independent cemeteries beyond them.
One number, day or night: (08) 9000 0281
Stylised — every metro suburb is inside the transfer area, any hour.
The questions families actually ask
What does a funeral actually cost?
With us: a direct cremation is $2,800 all-in, a chapel farewell starts at $4,250, and a graveside service is $3,910 plus cemetery fees at cost. What moves the figure is the coffin ($850, $1,450 or $2,400), the add-ons you choose (viewing $350, livestream $300, flowers $260), and — for burials — the cemetery’s own fees.
The Arrangement Ledger at the top of this page is the real arithmetic: choose, and watch each line ink in. Whatever it shows is what the invoice would say.
What is a direct cremation?
A cremation without a service: we bring your person into our care, complete the paperwork, and the cremation takes place unattended, with the ashes returned to you. It’s $2,800 all-in, and it’s the right choice for many families — some hold their own memorial later, at home or by the river, their way. If it’s right for yours, we’ll say so plainly. A private viewing beforehand is always available.
What do cemetery fees cost?
Honestly: it depends, and the number isn’t ours to invent. Cemetery fees are set by the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board and vary by cemetery and by section — lawn, monumental or wall. We show you the Board’s current schedule and pass the fee through at cost, as its own line. Guessing here would be exactly the dishonesty this page exists to end.
Can we still have a viewing?
Always — with any of our three services, including before a direct cremation. A private viewing is $350: a quiet room, unhurried time, as many of you as need to come. Direct doesn’t mean distant.
How do pre-paid plans work?
You choose your arrangement now, at today’s prices, and the money goes into a registered pre-paid funeral fund — a legal requirement in WA, and the part that protects you: it’s never our operating account, and we’d show you the fund’s name before you signed anything. When the plan is needed, it’s honoured in full, whatever prices have done since. Plans start at $2,800.
What happens when we call?
A person answers — at 3am, a person answers. We come to you, wherever your person is, and bring them gently into our care. Nothing is decided that night. The next morning we sit down — at your table or ours — and the itemised ledger arrives by email before any decision does. You choose in your own time, with every figure already in front of you.
Request the itemised ledger
Tell us a little and we’d email the full ledger for your arrangement — before any decision, before any commitment. Or skip the form entirely: the phone is answered by a person, any hour.
If you’re comparing prices for later, that’s welcome too. Honest comparison is the whole point of writing them down.
Thank you — received.
This is a demonstration page, so nothing has been sent anywhere. For a real family, a person — never a queue — would call you back within the hour, any hour of the twenty-four, with the itemised ledger already in your inbox.
