How to Find Details of a Funeral Service in Australia
If you’ve recently lost a loved one, or are trying to support a grieving friend or family member, you may be asking:
“How can I find the details of a funeral service?”
In a time of grief, it can be difficult to know where to look. Funeral announcements can be spread across newspapers, websites, and social media — or not shared publicly at all.
At eziFunerals, we help you stay informed by making it easier to find funeral service details across Australia, whether you’re attending in person or offering your support from afar.
Common Ways to Find Funeral Service Information
Here are the most reliable ways to locate funeral service details:
1. Check the Funeral Director’s Website
Most funeral homes in Australia post funeral notices and service details on their websites. These may include:
- Name of the deceased
- Date and time of the service
- Location (chapel, church, cemetery, crematorium)
- Livestream or video links (if available)
- Special instructions (e.g. dress code, donations in lieu of flowers)
If you know the funeral home handling the service, this is the best place to start.
2. Search eziFunerals’ Funeral Notice Listings
eziFunerals brings together funeral notices from across Australia in one easy-to-use platform.
You can search by:
- Full name
- Suburb or city
- Date of death

3. Check Local Newspapers or Online Obituaries
Traditional newspaper notices remain a popular option for many families, especially in regional areas.
Look in:
- The Sydney Morning Herald
- The Age
- The Courier-Mail
- The West Australian
- The Advertiser (Adelaide)
- Local community papers
Most of these papers now publish funeral notices online as well.
4. Ask Family or Friends
If you’re unsure which funeral home is involved, reaching out to a family member, mutual friend, or community contact is often the quickest way to get accurate information.
5. Look on Social Media
More families are now posting funeral details on Facebook, Instagram, or Messenger, particularly when services are private or invitation-only.
Some funeral directors also post upcoming services to their business Facebook pages, including livestream links for remote attendance.
What Information Is Usually Included in a Funeral Notice?
A typical funeral notice will include:
- Full name of the deceased
- Date of death
- Funeral date and time
- Service location and address
- Type of service (burial, cremation, private)
- Livestream links, if available
- Optional: personal tributes, donation requests, or special attire notes
If a service is private or by invitation only, this will also be noted.
What If You Can’t Find Any Funeral Details?
Sometimes, funeral information is intentionally kept private — especially in cases of sudden death, family conflict, or specific religious/cultural wishes.
If you can’t find public funeral details:
- Reach out privately to the family or next of kin
- Wait for a delayed memorial or celebration of life
- Respect the family’s decision if they’ve chosen not to publicise the service
At eziFunerals, we respect privacy while helping families share funeral details when they choose to.
