Supporting Families in Belmont
Losing someone close can leave families with many arrangements to consider. From deciding on burial or cremation to organising the service, cemetery and other details, having someone to guide you can provide reassurance during a difficult time.
Meighans Funerals supports families in Belmont, Newcastle and surrounding communities with practical assistance and compassionate care.
With more than 100 years of experience, our family owned and locally operated funeral home can arrange cremations, burials, memorial services and celebrations of life, tailored to the wishes of each family.
Whether you need help making arrangements now or would like to understand your options for the future, our funeral directors are here to assist.
Cremation can be arranged in a way that reflects your family’s preferences. Some families choose to hold a funeral service before the cremation, while others prefer a more private farewell.
Meighans Funerals can guide you through the available options, coordinate the necessary arrangements and provide support throughout the process.
- Funeral services followed by cremation
Private Cremation
- Memorial services after cremation
If burial is the preferred choice, Meighans Funerals can help coordinate the cemetery arrangements, required documentation and funeral service.*
A burial can be personalised with meaningful touches, including music, flowers, photographs, readings and family tributes. We can also assist with religious and cultural traditions that are important to your family.
Burial options are available across Newcastle and surrounding areas, subject to cemetery availability and requirements.

Direct Cremation
A simple and private option
For families who prefer a simpler approach, direct cremation provides an option without a formal funeral service at the time of cremation.
The cremation can be arranged privately, giving family and friends the flexibility to choose when and how they would like to come together to remember their loved one.

Farewells That Reflects A Life

Personal touches such as photographs, music, flowers, readings, videos and stories can help make the occasion meaningful. Religious, cultural and family traditions can also be included where they are important.
From a quiet family gathering to a larger service, our funeral directors can assist with coordinating the details and creating a fitting farewell.
