Greek Orthodox funeral directors

Funeral directors with experience in Greek Orthodox traditions across Australia.

According to Funerals Direct, there are 50 funeral directors listed with experience in Greek Orthodox funeral traditions across Australia.

Greek Orthodox funeral rites blend liturgical chanting, hymns, and prayers in a richly symbolic service. The funeral is usually held in an Orthodox church with the casket open during the service. Memorials continue at set intervals after burial to honour the deceased.

Greek Orthodox funeral traditions

  • The funeral service is held in an Orthodox church with priest-led liturgical chanting
  • The body is viewed in an open casket with an icon placed nearby
  • Burial is the traditional choice; cremation has become more accepted in some Greek Australian communities
  • Memorial services (mnimosino) are held at 40 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually
  • Kollyva, a boiled wheat dish, is prepared and shared in memory of the deceased
  • Black mourning attire is traditional, with the period of formal mourning varying by family

What to look for in a funeral director

Look for a funeral director who works closely with Orthodox churches in your area, understands the symbolism of the service (icons, kollyva, candles), and has Greek-speaking staff. Multi-language support for Macedonian, Serbian, and Russian families is also valuable in larger cities.

Practices vary between communities and individual families. The summary above reflects common Australian patterns. Speak with your funeral director about your specific wishes.
