About Handley & Anderson Funeral Directors - Cowes
Handley & Anderson's Cowes branch serves families across Phillip Island and the Bass Coast.
The team works through the practical decisions with each family: church or another venue, burial or cremation, religious service with a minister, secular service with a civil celebrant, music and hymns, and whether notices should run in Melbourne or local papers. The firm is AFDA-accredited. Phone the Cowes office during business hours to begin arrangements.
