Your dedicated Gateway funeral director handles every permit, form and arrangement with the crematorium, and makes sure your loved one’s ashes come back to you with care.

  • A funeral service, then cremation

Seaford Burial Services

Burials in cemeteries around Frankston and the Peninsula, arranged for Seaford families

When a burial is your family’s preference, we manage the cemetery arrangements, from booking the plot or family grave to organising the graveside service. Flowers, music and readings can be part of the day, as well as any cultural or religious customs that matter to you.

Some of the cemeteries we arrange burials at:

Direct Cremation for Seaford Families

An affordable alternative with no formal service

If you want the simplest choice, direct cremation is it. No service, viewing or procession takes place. Your loved one is cremated privately before the ashes are returned to your family.

In Seaford, some families choose it simply because it is simple and affordable. Others plan a gathering later at home, at a local club or on the Seaford foreshore.

Personal Farewells in Seaford & Frankston

Gateway Funerals hearse in Seaford

Each life is different, so a funeral should never be one-size-fits-all. Together we shape a service around your loved one, bringing in the music they loved, photos and stories from family, and a celebrant or minister in keeping with their beliefs.

Services can be held at a local church, at a memorial park chapel, in our Chelsea Heights chapel, or at a venue near the beach.
