About Walter Carter Funerals
Walter Carter Funerals, based at Waverley, partners with a curated set of venues across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and beyond rather than directing every service into a single chapel. Options range from intimate gatherings to larger Celebration of Life events, with each partner venue chosen for its suitability rather than convenience. The firm is AFDA-accredited and one of the longer-established names in eastern Sydney funeral care. Phone the Waverley office during business hours to discuss venue options or view the chapel before arranging a service.

Carol McNeilly
Oct 2025From our first contact to collecting documents after the service the team at Walter Carter, particularly Peter and Cathy were outstanding. Nothing was too difficult, the service was beautiful, and was a fitting send off. We cannot thank you enough for your care and compassion throughout this difficult time.

June 2025Peter and the team at Walter Carter Funerals did a stellar job organizing my mum’s funeral. Everything went very smoothly, the ceremony was beautiful and moving, the flowers were gorgeous and my mum would have loved it all. They handled every detail with great care and attention and it was such a relief to be able to rely on their professionalism and expertise combined with a personal, considerate and caring approach. I’m extremely grateful to Peter for making this process as easy as possible during such a difficult and stressful time. I felt supported every step of the way and I appreciated the team’s discrete presence at the church which let me focus on the most important thing, honouring my mum. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

July 2025Walter Carter were great. Everything from the Funeral cards, the recommended celebrant to the flower arrangement was top notch and it really could not have gone better. Obviously it was a very stressful time and they guided me smoothly through the process of giving my mother a beautiful send off. They know what they are doing and I would definitely recommend them.

May 2025I can not thank Richard and his team at Walter Carter Funerals enough for the exceptional care and support they provided in the lead up and following the passing of my dear Mum. From the very beginning, Richard was kind, compassionate, and incredibly professional. He guided us through every step of the process with such gentleness, (appropriate humour at times) and absolute respect, making a very difficult time a little more bearable. There was no request too big or too small - Richard and his team consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled just the way we wanted. Their attention to detail and genuine care was evident in everything they did, both in the lead-up to the service and in the time since. It meant the world to our family to know that Mum was in such good hands. We are so grateful for the warmth and dedication shown to us, and I would not hesitate to recommend Richard and his team to anyone needing compassionate and professional support during such a difficult time.

Aug 2025We're so deeply grateful to Walter Carter Funerals for its management of Jaques Verberkt's funeral. Richard, thank you for all your recommendations and gentle, uplifting humour, which helped to add a little levity at such a difficult time. We especially appreciated your celebrant recommendation, and assistance with all of the elements of the service. It was a fitting celebration of a life well-lived and we could not be happier.
