About Sri Lankan Funerals

We make timely preparations for the pre-ceremony rituals and choosing a place of worship for cremation to take place.

Spiritual Guidance and Support for Sri Lankan Funerals Sydney

With our Sri Lankan Funerals Sydney, we give you options to suit your personal beliefs and wishes. Your funeral director will assist you in appointing a Buddhist, Hindu’s or Christian priest or other spiritual figure, to aid in conducting pre-ceremony rituals and the final service. If requested by family members, you may also appoint your own spiritual figure to perform these services.

Sri Lankan Funerals Sydney Ritual Ceremonies

We offer suggestions for places of worship around Sydney and other surrounding suburbs, where Sri Lankan Funerals Sydney rituals and the final cremation service can be conducted in a private and peaceful setting. If you wish to have a pre-funeral service at your home, this can also be arranged at your request.

At the beginning of a ritual, oil lamps are burned and family photographs are placed around the deceased individual. With the attendance of friends and family, the priest recites sections from the words of Buddha and quotations from the Sutras.

If you wish to have multiple ceremonies over a week period – within the deceased household and the funeral home – we can arrange any services you need for each session.
