Cultural & Religious Funerals in SEQ

At Newhaven Funerals, we recognise that each culture and religion has its own meaningful customs and rituals when it comes to saying goodbye. We are dedicated to providing funeral services that respect and reflect the unique traditions of each family, ensuring that every farewell is carried out with reverence and authenticity. Our team works closely with religious and cultural leaders to uphold these practices. Below are some of the key groups we frequently serve:

Our Services

At Newhaven Funerals, we understand that every life is unique, and so is the way we say goodbye. We offer a compassionate and personalised approach to funeral services in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Gold Coast and Northern NSW. Ensuring that each family can honour their loved one in a way that aligns with their cultural and religious traditions.

We are proud to accommodate a wide range of cultural and religious customs, believing that every farewell should reflect the individuality of the person who has passed and the values of those left behind. Whether your traditions are rooted in spiritual beliefs or based on family practices, we are here to support you through this sensitive time, providing exceptional funeral services across south east QLD.

Buddhist

We offer traditional Buddhist funeral services, including ceremonial chanting, incense offerings, and other important rites that allow families to honour their loved ones in accordance with Buddhist funeral traditions.

Our services for Korean families reflect the traditional “jesa” ceremony, which involves family gatherings and specific rituals that are important in honouring and remembering loved ones within the Korean funeral tradition.
