Well done Team I have no hesitation in recommending you to others
Stettson Jupp
Robinson Family
Good morning Nikki and Faye and all at Midwest funerals. Thank you so much for the way you conducted my Dads funeral. All of us appreciated the caring way you went about making sure we were attended to . The respect you showed for our beloved Dad was so comforting to us all.
From the time we walked into your comforting parlour area, so tranquil, to organise Dads funeral we had a feeling of complete trust in your abilityβs. We are so glad we chose Midwest Funeral Serviceβs.
Thank you all again so much.
The Service was exactly how Dad would have wanted it. The price was really affordable. Mid West Funerals were professional, understanding, compassionate and very easy to talk with.
It is so hard to go through organising a funeral whilst the family are so upset with the whole emotion of losing someone you love so very much. Faye, Nikki, Sue and staff made this process calming and very easy, nothing was too hard or made difficult. Thank you for everything that you did.
The Howlett Family
My husband and I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful service you provided for his father. Kevin had gone through a lot of stress in regards to arranging the funeral and was very moved by the professional and personal touches you and your company provided. From both of us thank you very much.
Dee and Kevin
Thoughtful Funerals
As your Funeral Directors,Β Nikki and the team at Mid West Funerals are dedicated to helping you create a thoughtful funeral. We give you, family and friends meaning through reflection and acknowledgement. We’ll help you through this challenging time by discussing options, ideas and we’ll support you through decisions.
If you’ve lost a loved one or thinking about pre-planning your own funeral, it’s quite normal to wonder what happens next.
Read our below explainers for answers to questions that might be on your mind.
Each funeral should be unique. The wishes of a loved one or the family are fundamental to how we organise each service.
Whilst many pre-plan their own funeral, itβs also common for preferences to be known by immediate family. Close family may also have ideas or input about how the service should be conducted, especially when preferences arenβt known.
If youβre thinking about pre-planning your funeral; or faced with giving us instructions, weβll help you create a meaningful event that captures the essence of a special life lived.

Service officiant
Are you or your loved one of faith or secular? This question is an important start when considering who will lead the service. Aligning the service officiant with beliefs and preferences is an obvious and easy way to add meaning.
Read our funeral service officiant explainer for more information on the differences between your options.
Coffin type
As well as our range of beautiful wood and wood-look coffins, we offer affordable personalised designs including complete image-wrapped and themed designs.
These unique creations can be a visually wonderful tribute to a special life lived and are without bounds in terms of images and creativity. Whilst these coffins are a spectacular way to create memories, they are quite affordable.
Discover more about our coffin range.

Eulogy
Eulogies remind attending family and friends of their loved oneβs unique and special journey and can trigger many memories.
If youβre preparing a eulogy, youβre probably wondering what it can or should include. Whilst there are no rules, weβve put together a eulogy guide to help with your speech.
Learn more about preparing a eulogy.
Location
Funeral services certainly arenβt restricted to a church or cemetery. The choice of location can add another element of meaning by holding familiarity, emotional warmth or other significance.
When planning your funeral, consider locations that bring meaning to those gathering. The possibilities are almost unlimited, however weβve captured a handful of funeral location ideas to help you get started.

Poems
Is it hard to find the words that express your feelings? The opportunity for a heart-felt farewell message can bring family and friends together in common sincerity – but we arenβt all poets. The right poem can be a beautiful way to say whatβs on your mind and in your heart. These words can resonate with friends and family through their own interpretation and reflection.
We have hand-picked a large catalogue of poems and will help you find something that says what you mean.
Bespoke Memorial Books
There is something emotionally evoking and rich about flipping through memories captured in photos.
Our skilled team craft gorgeous memorial books; combining your favourite images of your loved one, poetry, service readings, attendee signatures (and messages) and the order of service.
These customisable books are offered to our client families and make stunning tributes everyone in the family will want.
Speak to us about Memorial Books for your family.

Tributes
Objects we hold dearly become a part of us. Some things we love become a piece of our own βbrandβ and our friends and family can come to instantly think of us when they experience something weβre connected with.
Whether itβs the hat we never take off, our prized fishing rod or that vice that’s (for better or worse) become a part of our identity β objects can be powerful symbols to the people we love.
Having physical tributes at a funeral service can be deeply moving to those that know us best.
As your Funeral Directors, Faye, Nikki and our team will help you organise placement of tributes and create a beautiful air of remembrance for all gathered.
The choice of burial or cremation is one of the most personal. If you’ve lost a love one, you might already know their preference – they might have told you or written it in their Will. When youβre aware of their wishes, all you need to do is tell us. We take care of the rest.
If youβre uncertain or thinking about your own funeral, weβll help by showing you the differences.

Burial
As burials have a physical site, they can be marked with a headstone, visited and tributes laid.
Typically more expensive than a cremation (depending on your shire).
Grant of Burial lasts for 25 years in Western Australia. After this term, a renewal is possible for a further 25 years at an additional cost (charged by the relevant cemetery).

Cremation
Scattering of ashes can provide an intimate family farewell at a time and place of your choosing.
Beautiful urns in a variety of styles, colours and materials are available.
A Bio Urn option is available with your choice of selected plant seeds.
Speak to Nikki and the team at Mid West Funerals for more information on your preferred type of committal.
Funeral services are an important time for reflection and the celebration of a special life lived. Because funeral services can include eulogies, poems; memories shared by family members; passages and more, having a service leader helps to bring it all together.
A funeral service is typically lead by a service officiant. This role can be fulfilled by anyone including a Celebrant, Minister, friend or family member. At Mid West Funerals around 70% of families choose a celebrant.
Nikki and Faye at Mid West Funerals are Authorised Celebrants and will be honoured to lead your service. Whether Celebrant, Minister, family member or friend; weβll organise everyone involved.
Speak to Nikki and the team to discuss service officiant options.
Celebrant
Celebrants are authorised professionals; trained to meet the wishes and needs of the deceased and their family.Β Personalisation should be core to a celebrant, and they will normally meet with the family to discuss service preferences. Celebrants are required by law to attend annual training to maintain their registration.
Nikki and Faye are authorised celebrants at Mid West Funerals. Faye has been delivering services for both funerals and weddings for over 16 years including for many denominations and cultural backgrounds. Both Faye and Nikki are passionate about the important role of personalisation and reflection within the process of grief.


Minister
Ministers are religious representatives and are usually chosen to lead services where the deceased person or family are of faith. Services lead by Ministers vary depending on religion and personal differences; however most will refer to religious readings, prayer or ritual throughout.
Mid West Funerals are available to organise a Minister for your specific funeral arrangements.
Speak Nikki and the Mid West Funerals team to find out which Ministers are available in your area.
Friend or family member
A service lead by a friend or family member can be personal and relaxed. Whilst people choosing to do this usually have public speaking experience, it certainly isnβt essential. Leading a service as a family member or friend can be both rewarding and challenging, however Faye and Nikki provide support, tips and ideas for anyone thinking about delivering a service themselves.
Get in touch with Nikki and the Mid West Funeral team if youβre considering leading a service.

Place holds meaning
Did you know a funeral doesnβt have to be at a cemetery or church? Whilst these places are common, we can organise your service in a variety of settings including:
Favourite sports club
Home
Farm
A favourite public space
Beach
For those having a service in Geraldton, the Geraldton Crematorium also has excellent facilities, including the Max Correy Condolence Lounge.
Contact Nikki and the Mid West Funerals team to discuss your location wishes.
When youβre dealing with great loss and involved in arranging a funeral, youβll appreciate up-front information, best pricing and zero-pressure. Youβll be able to choose from our stocked variety of affordable wooden, laminated and wicker coffins or weβll order you something more unique and personal. Youβll always get our best prices up-front and, whilst weβll show you the options, each decision is personal and yours to make without persuasion.
Personal Image-Wrap
Image-Wrap coffins present you and your family with a way to visually capture the spirit of lost loved ones. Provide us with your treasured photos to create a stunning farewell all will remember.

Beautiful headstones and monuments are a dedication to timeless memory. A stone memorial provides a permanent site of peace for visiting and reflection. The uniqueness of each monument is an important reflection of a unique and special life.
We aren’t just Funeral Directors; Mid West Funerals can order and install custom designed headstones and memorials according to your wishes. Because each is unique, there are some questions we will discuss with you when organising your special monument, including:
Headstone script
- Typically, has at least surname, date of birth and death
- Prominent surname?
- Marriage details?
- Special messages?
Monument style
- Choose from a wide range of stone colours and patterns
- Select from pre-designed stone pieces, or,
- Custom shape?
Monument size
- Sizing restrictions may vary depending on the cemetery and plot allowance

Grief is an experience thatβs completely unique to each person and each situation. As we grieve on the inside we also outwardly project βmourningβ, which are behaviours that change whilst we deal with loss.
According the Dr Alan Wolfelt, Ph.D., receiving ongoing support from others (or giving it) is a critical piece in the journey of grief.
As a supporter, or someone seeking support, itβs important to recognise that some things we say (intentional or not) can cut grief short and be counter-productive to the process of grieving. As a friend or family member, avoid encouraging a grieving person to βchin-upβ, to βkeep busyβ or βmove onβ. Statements like these are common and are made very innocently, however can have the effect of denying grief and stalling an important emotional process.
Dr Wolfelt suggests that to be most helpful ββ¦see mourning not as an enemy to be vanquished but as a necessity to be experienced as a result of having loved.β Read more advice from Alan about grief and mourning.
