Funeral Directors In Sunshine

Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things any of us will ever face, and it never happens on a schedule. When a Sunshine family calls Gardenia, you speak directly with a caring funeral director on our local team, never a call centre, and we stay by your side from that first phone call through to the farewell and beyond.

Our Melton chapel on Reserve Road is a short drive west of Sunshine, so your loved one stays close, in our care, with one dedicated team throughout. We handle every part of the funeral arrangements, so you can focus on what truly matters.

Supporting Sunshine

Sunshine sits about twelve kilometres west of the city and has one of Melbourne’s richest migrant histories. It is the heart of the city’s Maltese community, with the only Bank of Valletta branch in Oceania on Watt Street, and it has been home to a thriving Vietnamese community since the refugee arrivals of the late 1970s, whose groceries and restaurants line the town centre. More recent African and Burmese families have added new colour to a suburb that has always welcomed newcomers. Life here gathers around the Sunshine Plaza and Marketplace, the heritage H.V. McKay Memorial Gardens on Anderson Road, and quiet places of worship such as the Hue Quang Temple.

From our Melton chapel a short drive to the west, we are here for Sunshine families with services at our own chapel, at a local church or temple, or at a place that meant something to your loved one. As your funeral home and funeral director, we have deep experience guiding services for the many cultures that make Sunshine what it is, and we take real care to get every custom right. Whatever a farewell looks like for your family, we are by your side, any time of the day or night.
