About Desert Funerals

Desert Funerals operates from Connellan, just outside Alice Springs, covering Central Australia and the wider NT remote region. The team can refer families to other services for estate matters and travel logistics for relatives needing to attend the funeral, which is significant given the distances common across NT funeral arrangements. Both traditional services and lower-cost cremation options are arranged. The Connellan base sits close to the Alice Springs airport, making transfers from remote communities easier. AFDA member.
