About Basilica Funerals
Basilica Funerals is based in Epping on Melbourne's northern fringe and arranges funerals across all Melbourne suburbs. The firm handles burials, cremations, exhumations, repatriations, church services, chapel services and graveside services, and travels to the family's chosen venue rather than restricting clients to one site. The Epping office covers the wider northern corridor of Melbourne, including Mediterranean and southern European communities common to the area, and works across both traditional and contemporary service formats.

What families say
Tanya Petrolo
Nov 2025Basilica Funerals gave our father, Vincenzo Petrolo, the farewell he truly deserved. From the moment we met Wilma and Maria, we were met with genuine warmth, care, and respect. Every detail was thoughtful, from the personal touches to the way they spoke about Dad, as if they’d known him for years. The team handled everything with such gentleness and compassion. They didn’t just organise a funeral, they helped us honour his life in the most beautiful and meaningful way. In the hardest weeks of our lives, Wilma and Maria felt more like family than service providers. We couldn’t recommend Basilica highly enough! 🙏🕊️❤️

Aug 2025Highly recommend using Basilica. Maria and Wilma were very welcoming, compassionate and patient coordinating the funeral for my father. Never having done this before, they guided us along the way., at every step. The funeral service was exactly what we wanted and what my dad would’ve wanted too. We loved the personal way Maria and Wilma went about arranging things and we appreciated the flexibility along the way. Thank you very much the Basilica team x

Nov 2025Maria and Wilma showed us nothing but compassion, respect, kindness and professionalism from the moment we engaged in their services. Without their guidance we wouldn't have been able to give our mother beautiful send off that we did. Thank you so much ladies.

July 2025From the moment we arrived, Basilica Funerals offered more than just a space, they provided comfort, dignity, and warmth during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Every detail was handled with care, and the staff showed genuine compassion in helping us celebrate the life of our beloved mother. Special thanks to Wilma and Maria, whose kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. Their gentle presence, thoughtful gestures, and sincere support helped us feel held and understood. They honored our mum with such grace, and we will always remember the way they cared for her and for us. The setting was peaceful and beautifully arranged, creating an atmosphere that truly reflected her spirit, graceful, kind, and full of love. The team was respectful of our traditions and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We are deeply grateful for the way they supported our family. Their compassion will never be forgotten. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
