We take pride in looking after people in their time of mourning and guiding you gently through a time that many find challenging. We create inspirational, affordable and authentic farewells that pay tribute to a life lived. We tailor everything we do to suit families' needs, rather than force them to conform to the rigid practices of an industry that's slow to evolve. The Picaluna process is under
pinned by 100% price transparency, plus the donation of 5% of our profits to a charity of choice. Yes and no is answer to this question. Whilst Picaluna is a business that offers a better way for family and friends to say goodbye to the people they love, we still perform all of the tasks involved in the funeral. The only difference is that we don’t actually have any physical locations or infrastructure (i.e. chapels, hearses, mortuaries, offices etc). We are a network of compassionate celebrants, professional planners and wonderful service providers such as florists, stationary providers, mortuaries, hearse and limousine companies, coffin suppliers, cemeteries and crematorium. How much does a Picaluna funeral cost? Due to the fact that we have lower overhead costs compared to typical industry businesses, our customers tell us that we’re about 20 to 30% more affordable than quotes they’ve received from other funeral directors. Having said that, the price of an average Picaluna funeral involving a cremation, is approximately $8,500. Picaluna’s business model is based on 100% price transparency, we have no hidden charges or markups, rather opting for a flat 35% service fee on top of the funeral costs.
