We’ve been helping families across Queensland for more than 145 years, offering comfort and support when it’s needed most.
We’re available 24/7 and with you every step of the way.
Planning a funeral can be understandably stressful. We'll do everything we can to make the process simple, leaving you time to reflect on the life of your loved one.
A farewell can be as unique as the person you’re honouring, whether that’s a traditional, religious or modern funeral.
Viewings offer family and friends a private moment to say goodbye. We'll ensure it's handled with care and dignity.
One of the first decisions to make, we’ll take you through the considerations so you can make the right choice for you.
Whether you use one of our chapels or another location, we'll help manage all the logistics involved in planning a meaningful celebration of life.
Gather your favourite photos, videos and stories of your loved one to share as part of the funeral service.
We can live-stream the funeral for family and friends who are unable to attend using a secure viewing link.
From the moment you make the first phone call, we’re here to help. We'll offer kindness and clarity as we guide you through every stage of the process.

Support for you and your family in the weeks to come.
We have extensive experience providing services for different faiths and cultures. Our multicultural team will honour your loved one with respect and understanding.
We offer a wide range of financial options that cater to all budgets. Our quotes are clear and easy to understand, outlining all costs so there are no surprises once the day is over.
Not all decisions need to be confirmed during the first meeting. However, you might like to start thinking about some of the different options. We’ll take you through all the options so you can make the choices that feel right.
1
Whether you're keeping, scattering or interring your loved one's ashes, we'll help you choose an urn that reflects their personality.

There’s a wide range of styles to choose from. We’ll take you through the options and help you select something that suits your needs.

A service doesn’t need to be held in a church. We can plan a service at a park, church or venue that holds a special place in your family’s heart.
I cannot express how much I have appreciated everything the George Hartnett team did for us.
From the moment my late father entered their care after his sudden passing at home. I am particularly grateful to Erin Laitala at Sandgate, QLD for her compassion, grace and attention to detail while helping us arrange Dad's funeral. Thank you so very much for making such an incredibly sad and challenging time for us easier to navigate.
A big thank you to Gavin at George Hartnett Holland Park.
Gavin's genuine care and empathy, combined with efficiency and experience made a very difficult process much, much easier for my family. Highly recommend Gavin and GHM Funerals to anyone needing to lay a loved one to rest. Thanks Gavin.
Our family felt well supported as we planned our mother’s Funeral.
Funerals are not something we deal with every day. It is a very busy time. You are grieving and having to make so many decisions over a short time period. Gavin helped so much to make this time easier for us. We didn’t feel rushed which was really helpful.
Most funerals are held within a week of passing. However, we can work to your timeline. We appreciate other factors may influence the timing of the service, such as those travelling from out of town. We can care for your loved one until you’re ready.
Yes, you can. At George Hartnett Metropolitan, we honour every story and encourage families to personalise the service to represent the personality and values of their loved one. From music and flowers to the type of service, we’re here to help you say goodbye in whatever way feels most appropriate for you and your family.
Most of our locations have an on-site chapel which you’re welcome to use – the cost is included in our fee. However, you do not need to hold the service in our chapel. We have organised services in churches, parks, beaches and a wide range of alternative venues. We’ll work with you to plan a funeral that reflects your loved one's wishes.
At most of our locations, services can be live-streamed for those who cannot attend in person on the day. We will also provide you with a link to a private online archive so you can rewatch it if you wish.
Funeral costs vary depending on your choices such as the service type, casket, flowers and more. Your funeral director will explain each option and provide a clear cost estimate. You can also view our pricing in advance.
Whether you need us now or want to plan ahead, we're ready to support you 24/7.
