Hello, I’m Keri, your dedicated funeral director. I understand that this is a challenging time for you, and my role is to make everything as easy as possible. When you choose A Better Way Funerals, you’re choosing a person that cares deeply about you and your loved one.
I established A Better Way Funerals after experiencing firsthand the shortcomings of the traditional funeral industry when my mother passed – the funeral service we used left us disheartened. The push to upsell was overwhelming, the environment cold and uninviting, and the funeral director’s appearance lacked the respect we needed during that difficult time.
The experience helped me create a different kind of service, where compassion and understanding take precedence over profit. My goal is to ensure that every family I work with feels genuinely cared for and valued.
Once you engage with me, you can relax and leave every detail in my hands. I know there are countless things on your mind and your grieving is paramount. Just give me a call, and I will ensure everything is taken care of with compassion and professionalism. You won't even need to leave your home—I'll come to you!
My motto is simple but significant: ethical and reasonably priced funerals every time. A Better Way Funerals is all about doing things simply and doing them well. Your best interests are at the forefront of my approach; I guarantee your wishes will be honoured, and that you’ll be heard every step of the way.
Located in Balgowlah, I offer holistic services for burials, cremations (including direct), life tributes, prepaid funerals and more. My services are available throughout Northern Sydney and beyond, including Manly, Mona Vale, Frenchs Forest, Mosman, Hornsby, Chatswood, St Leonards and Greenwich.
My mission is clear; to provide exceptional care, a shoulder to lean on and expert advice. I know first hand how challenging it is to lose a loved one, having lost my beautiful son Baxter recently. I am deeply committed to honouring your loved one in a way that feels right, honest and comforting. Offering ceremonies that will be cherished by your family and friends because it’s about love, relationships, healing and hope.
The pain of losing a child is indescribable. No words can capture the agony of watching your child’s life slip away. As a mother, you feel responsibility to protect your children, and when you can’t, the heartbreak is unimaginable.
My grief is compounded by the loss of who I was before Baxter’s death; life will never be the same. I share this story not for sympathy but to help others understand that I truly know what I means to endure profound loss. Grief is unique to each person, and so too should be the celebration of a loved one’s life.
A Better Way Funerals is proud to be an independent, Australian owned and female-led business. Families are my top priority and I promise to treat you with extraordinary respect and kindness throughout the entire process. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m here to help and support you during this difficult time.
Let’s chat and find a better way to say goodbye, knowing you are in the best of care. Your loved one’s memory deserves nothing less.

A cremation with a service can either have the coffin present, followed by the cremation or with the cremation first, followed by a memorial service at a later date. With both options, the ashes are delivered to the family following the cremation taking place.
A Better Way Funerals provides a wide range of funeral services, including cremations, burials, memorial services, pre-planning arrangements and grief support. I'm here to guide and assist you every step of the way.
Absolutely. I understand the importance of honouring the individuality of your loved one. I offer personalised funeral services tailored to reflect their unique personality, hobbies, interests or any other special requests you may have.
Pre-planning refers to making funeral arrangements in advance. By pre-planning, you alleviate your family's emotional and financial burden during a difficult time. It ensures your final wishes are explicitly stated, providing you and your loved ones peace of mind.
Yes, I offer repatriation services to help transport the deceased either internationally or domestically. She will handle all the necessary paperwork, legal requirements and logistical arrangements to ensure a smooth and dignified transition for your loved one.
Supporting someone who is grieving is essential during their healing process. I provide grief support services, including counselling and resources to help individuals cope with loss. Additionally, simple gestures like offering a listening ear, assisting with daily tasks or providing a comforting presence can make a meaningful difference to those who are grieving.
