Simplicity are truly caring and very helpful and helped make it an easy process.
We had Geraldine and she was absolutely amazing and helped me so much with organising my mother's funeral and being my first time, she was so patient & she showed she cared. I really couldn't have asked for better funeral home to help organise the perfect funeral for mum. I highly recommend them.
Everyone at Simplicity Funerals were very helpful and understanding with what we need and what we were going through physical and emotional.
I would like to pass on my thanks and best wishes to all staff from myself and family for a great job they perform. Cheers.
We were greeted with such warmth and understanding, not having dealt with anything like this before.
Paul sat us down and went through everything with us. The funeral was beautiful, thanks to Simplicity Funerals.

What do you like about being a funeral arranger?
The thing I love most about being a funeral director, is being able to create and assist in establishing a vision to say farewell to someone when they pass.
A lot of families wish to have a service as a celebration of life. I like to find out what the individual loved most and incorporate it as much as we can into the service, so when people attend one of our services, they can honestly say... that was a true reflection of the individual that passed.
Do you speak any other languages?
Yes, Italian.
What makes your brand special?
Our friendly team, our community and close network we each have around town make us special.
We also have an amazing, refreshed facility with spacious rooms and state of the art equipment to have a funeral setting run seamlessly. With the building being established in the late 19th century we have created a space where old meets new, original façade with a new inviting interior.
What gives you strength in this work?
What gives me strength in this industry, is knowing I have cared for a family in life's most difficult moments.
What do you enjoy in your spare time?
In my spare time i love spending time with my wife and children, Cooking BBQ, playing futsal, and travel.
What do you love about the community your funeral home is in?
I love the Ballarat community because what ever you do here, you feel involved in something. Everyone knows everyone and i have personally noticed that if people need guidance or support, this community all get involved and assist in the best possible way.
