Funeral Care for Mentone Families

When someone you love dies, saying goodbye is never easy, and you shouldn’t be left to work out the details alone. For more than 25 years, Gateway Funerals has guided Victorian families through farewells that feel personal and unhurried. Our business is 100% family owned and locally operated, so you deal with the same person from day one until the service is over.

We organise funerals, cremations, burials and memorial services for local families in Mentone, Parkdale, Cheltenham, Mordialloc and Beaumaris. Cheltenham Memorial Park is only minutes away, and our own chapel in Chelsea Heights is close by too. From help after a death to planning in advance, we explain each option and its cost clearly, leaving you free to make the right choice for your family.

Many Mentone families choose cremation for the flexibility it brings. You might hold a service at St Patrick’s first, plan a memorial later, or choose a private cremation with family only.

Your funeral director from Gateway looks after all paperwork, permits and arrangements with the crematorium, and carefully returns your loved one’s ashes to your family.

  • A funeral followed by cremation
  • Memorial service following private cremation
  • Direct cremation with no service held
  • Respectful return of ashes to the family

Direct Cremation in Mentone

Affordable, with no formal service

Direct cremation is the simplest option available. It means no service, no viewing and no procession. Cremation happens privately, then the ashes come back to you.

A number of Mentone families choose it because it is simple and affordable. Others gather later for a celebration of life at home, at a local club or along the Mentone foreshore.
