☕ Finding warmth on the coldest days... As the Tasmanian winter settles in and the frost arrives, we are reminded that comfort comes in many forms. Whether it’s the glow of soft lighting in our chapel or a warm cup of tea, no one should have to walk through a season of grief in the cold. Our spaces and team are warm and welcoming, here to provide a sanctuary to gather, remember, and find comfort together, regardless of the weather outside.

In the language of flowers, the red rose has always stood for deep, enduring love. When crafted into a traditional cross, it becomes a beautiful tribute of respect and everlasting memory 🌹

We are proud to work with the talented team at Valley Roses to provide these hand-crafted floral arrangements. Each rose is selected with care, ensuring that your family’s final gift is as vibrant and meaningful as the life it honours. The right flowers can speak when words are difficult to find.

We feel incredibly lucky to be Tasmanian. Having the opportunity to say goodbye in a setting that reflects the natural beauty of the land our loved ones called home is a gift. It reminds us that even in our saddest moments, there is beauty and continuity all around us 🕊️

The sound of softly falling water is tranquil and restorative. In one of our quietest outdoor corners at Franklin Grove, our fountain provides a steady, peaceful rhythm for those in need of a moment’s reflection. The gentle splash of the fountain helps to quiet the outside world, creating a private space where you can sit, breathe, and simply remember 🤍

Connecting from home or from across the ocean 🤍

Sometimes, life’s circumstances, such as distance, health, or travel, mean not everyone can be with us physically at a celebration of life. Everyone should have the opportunity to pay their respects and say goodbye.

That’s why we offer professional livestreaming of our funeral services, with the family's permission, directly via the Finney’s website.

- Our high-quality streams allow family and friends from overseas or interstate to pay their respects in real-time, ensuring they feel part of this important family occasion.
- With the family’s permission, services are available to view live and remain accessible on our website for three months following the funeral.
- Simply visit our website and search by surname to find the service you wish to join.

At Finney Funeral Services, we use modern technology to ensure that even when we are apart, we can still grieve, remember, and celebrate a life together.

"Should young children attend funerals?"... It’s a question many parents ask themselves during a difficult time. While there are no set rules, and it is ultimately the parents or guardians' decision, we often find that children, when supported by their family, find comfort in being part of this important family occasion.

Rather than something to fear, a funeral can be a gentle way to help a child understand the rituals we use to say goodbye. It can also be a beautiful opportunity for them to contribute creatively:

🌸 A special flower: Letting them place a bloom on the coffin.
🎨 A final message: Writing a letter or drawing a picture to be included. Some of our coffin options are perfect for drawing on or decorating.
📖 A shared memory: Helping to choose a song or reading a short verse.

Ultimately, it is up to you. If you choose you would like your child to attend, we welcome their curiosity and innocence. We're here to support your family, no matter how small 🤍

"What clothes should I provide for my loved one?"... It’s a question many families ask, and while it might seem like a small detail, choosing the clothing for a loved one is often a deeply meaningful part of the farewell process.

There are no right or wrong answers, only what feels right. When making this decision, you might like to consider:

👗 Did they have a favourite outfit or colour to wear?
👔 What were they most comfortable in? Whether it was a formal suit, a favourite gardening shirt, or a cozy knitted jumper, we want them to look like them.
👞 Families often ask about shoes and under layers; you are welcome to bring these along to ensure they are fully dressed as they would be in life.

Our Funeral Directors are here to guide you through these choices with sensitivity and care 💜

You may have seen our silver hearse travelling throughout northern Tasmania or parked here at our Franklin Grove Centre. While our history in Launceston spans over a century, we have always believed in "moving with the times" to provide the very best for the families we serve 💜

To us, this vehicle is a symbol of the final, dignified journey we are entrusted to lead. Our modern hurses are meticulously maintained to ensure that every farewell is conducted with the highest level of professionalism and respect.

Myth ✖ vs. Truth ✅: Is embalming always necessary?

One of the most common questions we receive is whether embalming is a requirement. At Finney Funeral Services, we believe in providing clear, professional guidance so you can make the right choice for your loved one.

The Facts:
In most cases, the answer is no. However, it may be required if:
✈️ Your loved one is being transferred overseas or interstate.
🏛️ They are being placed in an above-ground vault.
⏳ There will be a considerable delay before the funeral service.

Regardless of whether a viewing is chosen, our policy is to prepare every person with the highest level of dignity. When the circumstances warrant it, we provide complete embalming carried out by our own qualified staff.

As proud members of the Australian Institute of Embalming, we ensure that the highest standards of care and respect for your loved one are strictly maintained at all times.
