Parkside has its origins in a dream. A dream to become a funeral director and care for bereaved families through the funeral process. I, Rennie, had experienced the terrible loss of a baby son, Bradley, who lived 5 ½ weeks, and died from SIDS. As a result of this I began to read about grief and loss in an attempt to understand what was happening to me. I did a training course which talked about the role of a funeral director and how a funeral can make a difference in the journey of moving on after loss.
Parkside Funerals Chapel Burnie is our main administrative centre, situated next to Burnie Lawn Cemetery. Featuring a large, beautifully detailed funeral chapel with modern screens and sound system, our Burnie chapel seats up to 220 people, with overflow standing room. Our venue also contains a private gathering room, which is convenient for family members to meet prior to the service, as well as an intimate viewing room, which enables last farewells to be made.
Our reception area is light and airy for guests to mingle and share their thoughts and memories. This area leads out into our courtyard which overlooks our beautiful gardens, maintained for year-round colour and variety.
Our Central Coast Chapel is situated on Wright’s Road (off Trevor Street), Ulverstone. Seating up to 80 guests, this chapel is ideal for a more intimate farewell. With plush seating for all your family and friends, along with a beautifully serene viewing room, our Central Coast Chapel also has audio-visual facilities, allowing you to share those special photos of your loved one’s life.
At Parkside Funerals we specialise in doing services anywhere, not just in our own chapels. We are also able to arrange to do the service for your loved one in any church, hall, sporting venue or even in your own back yard. We not only do funerals along the North-West and Central Coast, but across all of Tasmania. This includes the Circular Head areas of Smithton, Marrawah, and Stanley, along with the West Coast including Queenstown, Rosebery, Zeehan, and Strahan.
There are no limits on where we can or will travel to conduct a funeral.
The Parkside Funerals team is committed to providing excellence in every aspect of funeral service.
