Supporting Mornington Families With Caring Funeral Services

Saying goodbye is always hard, and you don’t need to handle the arrangements by yourself. For 25+ years, Gateway Funerals has helped Victorian families plan farewells that feel unhurried and personal. As a 100% family-owned, locally operated business, we make sure the person you speak with on day one stays with you until the service ends.

Families in Mornington, Mount Martha, Mount Eliza, Tuerong and across the Mornington Peninsula come to us for funerals, cremations, burials and memorial services. We know the Peninsula’s churches, halls and cemeteries, including Mornington Cemetery, and can arrange a service close to home. We explain every option and every cost clearly, whether you are arranging a funeral after a death or planning ahead, so your family can make the right choice.
