COVID-19 Update

Kingston Funeral Groups number one priority has always been our families and their loved ones. Combined with the advice from experts on COVID 19, we must implement our procedural and operational changes.

Attendance at Funerals within Melbourne Metropolitan and Mitchell Shire, will be enforced in line with Government Regulations, at the time of the funeral.  Funeral Staff and Celebrant/Clergy will be in addition to the allowed number of mourners.

Funeral arrangements held in our Cheltenham office will be restricted to 2 family members.  During this time we are unable to attend family homes for arrangements.  Clothing for your loved one will need to be delivered to our Kingston office.

All Visitors to our Office will be required to “Check in” on the Services Victoria App, and be asked to sanitise their hands.  For those attending funerals, all mourners will be required to “Check in” and sanitise their hands.  If you are unwell, we ask that you refrain from attending.

Kingston Funerals will live stream all funeral services, where streaming is available.

During restriction phases, refreshments are not permitted to be held at any funeral.
