Saying goodbye is one of life’s most intimate and meaningful acts. At Life Rites Funerals, we believe that a farewell should reflect the person being honoured—their values, passions, and the mark they left on others. Our funeral services in Glebe are designed around this belief, offering families the space and support to craft ceremonies that feel truly personal.
Whether you’re planning a small, home-based vigil or a larger service in a chapel or outdoor space, our team ensures the experience is guided by empathy, integrity, and your wishes. With a network of experienced celebrants, end-of-life doulas, and funeral directors in Glebe, we provide holistic, respectful care every step of the way.
A Range of Funeral Options in Glebe Tailored to Your Needs
At Life Rites, we know that no two lives—or families—are alike. That’s why we work closely with you to design a service that honours your loved one in the way that feels most authentic and meaningful to you.
Home-Based Ceremonies: There’s something deeply comforting about holding a farewell in a familiar space. Our team supports home funerals across Glebe, ensuring the environment is properly prepared, dignified, and peaceful.
Culturally Aware and Inclusive Services: From Buddhist rituals and Christian rites to secular and non-traditional formats, we honour the customs, language, and beliefs that matter to your family. We’re here to listen and respect what feels right to you.
Venue and Outdoor Services: Some families prefer a more formal setting such as a chapel, park, or hall. We handle the coordination and setup with care and precision, allowing you to focus on the experience, not the logistics.
Shared Planning and Participation: We encourage loved ones to take part in shaping the ceremony. Whether it’s writing tributes, selecting readings, or helping guide the tone of the service, we make space for you to be as involved as you choose.
Supporting You Beyond the Funeral Itself
A funeral is only one part of the grieving process. At Life Rites, we support families not only through the ceremony, but in the days, weeks, and months that follow.
Guidance and Counselling
We connect families to trusted grief counsellors and support groups, offering gentle guidance for those navigating loss—on their own terms and timeframe.
Doula Services
Our doulas offer emotional, practical, and spiritual support to families before death. Whether it’s providing information, comfort, or simply a calm presence, they help ease one of life’s most challenging transitions.
Home Vigil and Cool Plate
Many families in Glebe choose to spend extended time with their loved one after death. Our discreet cooling plate allows for a home vigil, creating space for reflection and closeness in a familiar setting.
Eco-Friendly Farewells for a Better Tomorrow
We believe that how we say goodbye matters—not only for those grieving, but for the planet. If your family is seeking a low-impact or sustainable funeral, we offer a variety of environmentally conscious options.
These include biodegradable coffins, natural burial sites, and green cremation support. From transportation to materials, our team can help reduce the environmental impact of the ceremony while maintaining beauty and dignity.
