There are many good funeral companies to choose from, so why would you choose Living Hope Funerals? What makes us different?
First, Living Hope Funerals is a profit-for-purpose company. We do not have shareholders or owners making a profit from our business, instead we donate to charities chosen by our clients. This means we can help make a difference to people’s lives through our donations. If we provide a funeral service for you, you can choose which charity we donate to.
Secondly, Living Hope Funerals is not owned by a large corporation. We have been established by the Baptist Association of NSW & ACT as an independent funeral business. This means we are not controlled by profit-making or a corporate head office.
Thirdly, what makes us different are our values. The team at Living Hope Funerals highly values compassion in the way we deal with individuals and families, and integrity and transparency in the way we deal with finances. We understand people are grieving and so we work hard to lift the weight of arrangements and respond with kindness and care. We never up-sell or add hidden costs.
Fourthly, because we are not a large team, we are very responsive and flexible and can turn things around swiftly when needed. We come to visit the families rather than expect the family always to come to us. We can change plans to suit the family, and we can adapt and respond to make each funeral unique and meaningful to the individual and families.
Finally, we are a faith-based company. Whether our clients have a faith or not, or have a different faith to ours, it does not change how we serve them. We have conducted funerals for families from Hindu, Buddhist, and traditional Chinese backgrounds, as well as those from Baptist, Anglican, Catholic, Pentecostal and other Christian traditions. We have also conducted funerals for people with no faith at all. Being faith-based simply means our staff show God’s love to others by example.
