Funeral Care for
Singleton Families
Singleton Families
When someone close to you passes away, there may be many choices to make while you and your family are taking time to grieve. From deciding how you would like to say goodbye to choosing a service location or cemetery, having compassionate guidance can help make the arrangements feel less overwhelming.
For more than 100 years, Meighans Funerals has supported families throughout Singleton, the Hunter Valley and surrounding communities. Our funeral directors can talk through the options with you, answer your questions and assist with the practical arrangements involved in creating a meaningful farewell.
Every family has different needs, beliefs and traditions. We take the time to listen and help you make arrangements that feel appropriate for your loved one.
There are several ways a cremation can be arranged. Families may choose a funeral service before cremation, a private cremation or a memorial gathering at another time.
Our team can explain the different options and assist with the arrangements, providing support from the initial planning through to the farewell.
- Funeral services followed by cremation
Private Cremation
- Memorial services after cremation
For those choosing burial, Meighans Funerals can assist with cemetery arrangements, required documentation and coordinating the funeral service.
A burial service can be simple or highly personal, with opportunities to include photographs, flowers, music, readings and stories. Religious, cultural and family traditions can also be incorporated according to your wishes.

Direct Cremation
A straightforward and private choice
Direct cremation may be suitable for families who would prefer not to hold a formal funeral service at the time of cremation.
The arrangements can remain private, with the option to hold a memorial, family gathering or celebration of life later, when everyone is ready to come together.
