The attention to detail, adherence and respect of Orthodox and Serbian traditions, the care provided to my late father and our entire family and the overall beauty of the entire funeral ceremony for my father was unmatched in all of Australia. My father would be so proud of the funeral we deservedly provided for him thanks to Antony at Orthodox Funerals.

The Orthodox Way
“Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor. 15:54)
The most profound loss occurs with the death of a loved one. Death, anticipated or sudden, is capable of devastating those left behind. It may thrust the bereaved into a mix of physical and emotional responses: sorrow, anxiety, tears, anger, regret, and disbelief, among others. Grief is an expression of our enduring love for one another, a love that continues even in their absence: “Love has no measure. It is infinite” (Mother Gavrilia, An Ascetic of Love).
How to deal with the grieving process
The liturgical rhythm of prayers, services, and customs of the Orthodox Faith serve to transform our grief and lead us into deeper communion with Christ. To learn more about the traditional Orthodox Funeral Service and Memorials click here.
