We don’t have enough words to express our gratitude to Devine for everything they did for our beautiful mum’s funeral. Jim, Nick, Pamela, Desi and Michael wrapped our family in such genuine care, compassion and tenderness. Every detail was handled with so much love, allowing us to honour our mum in the way she truly deserved. The video collage and photos of the day are incredibly beautiful….they capture her spirit and the love we all felt for her and we will treasure them always.These memories are now priceless!! Losing her has been one of the hardest moments of our lives. Saying goodbye felt impossible, but knowing she was farewelled with such thoughtfulness, dignity and love has given us comfort during our deepest grief. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We will never forget what you’ve done for our family. ♥️ Letizia S2025-12-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During the most difficult period of my life Jim was incredibly caring and patient with me. Always ready to take a call and talk me through the process. You made me feel like i was an old friend of yours with your level of care. From start to end we received a personal service which truly honoured my beautiful sisters life. Jim and Nick, you exceeded my expectations and Jim your words at the memorial were exceptional. You captured who she was perfectly.

BMG MOA2025-12-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have done 2 funerals with this Company over the last 4 years. Jim & Nick the directors have both had the tragedy of losing a child each & have a very personal touch, they have done an outstanding funeral service both times for our family. They are reasonably priced & I can not recommend them highly enough. Billie-Ellen Jeske2025-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars isn’t enough to show the gratitude I have for the incredible team at Divine Funerals. Jim and Pam are truly angels, guiding us through such a difficult time in our family’s life with absolute ease. From the initial organising of the funeral service right up until and even the days following the funeral they were there and always available to answer any questions we’d had and were always there for an ear to listen if you just needed to get things off your chest. Cannot commend Jim, Pam and their team enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mariah Sava2025-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Divine Family Funerals enough for the compassion, care, and professionalism they showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the moment they gently took my grandfather from our home, we felt an overwhelming sense of respect and dignity in every step they took. Their team guided us with such kindness through all the planning, making a process we were dreading feel manageable and even comforting. On the day of the funeral, they created a truly beautiful and heartfelt service—one that honoured my grandfather perfectly. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and grace, allowing us to focus on our memories and our family. Their support, empathy, and dedication made a difficult day feel peaceful, meaningful, and full of love. We are deeply grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend them to any family needing care during a time of loss.

Each part is rich with tradition and prayers specific to the Orthodox faith.
We offer comprehensive support in organising an Orthodox funeral, including liaising with the church, arranging transport, and handling all documentation.

While Orthodox funerals follow traditional rituals, there may be some opportunities for personalisation. It’s important to discuss these with the priest officiating the service. Generally, personal touches can be added during the wake or the memorial service that follows the burial, such as personal eulogies, favourite music, or a display of photos that celebrate the life of the deceased.
Yes, Orthodox Christianity has specific guidelines for burial. Typically, the deceased is buried facing east, symbolising their anticipation of the resurrection. The body is also traditionally buried in a casket, and cremation is generally not practised. We coordinate closely with Orthodox clergy to ensure that all aspects of the burial meet religious requirements.
