From ‘bean counter’ to undertaker — Malcolm’s unexpected calling

In 2012, Malcolm Pittendrigh was working in finance with The Salvation Army’s Aged Care team when he asked a bold question around the boardroom table:

“What if we offered funerals?”

That spark of an idea — guided by prayer, research, and compassion — became “Salvos Funerals”.

Since launching, Malcolm has helped lead a service that has supported more than 4,000 families with affordable, dignified care during one of life’s most vulnerable moments.

Now operating across NSW, ACT, Melbourne, Perth and Southeast Queensland, Salvos Funerals continues to grow — grounded in compassion.

“The Lord equipped me accordingly and instilled in me a passion for serving families in this way.”

Grief is different for everyone — and that’s okay.

You might feel denial, anger, sadness, or ask “What if?” — and then feel all of it again the next day. These are known as the five stages of grief, and they don’t follow a neat timeline.

What matters is knowing: Your feelings are valid. You’re not alone.

If you’re not sure what to do next, that’s okay. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

We’ve put together a simple guide to help you understand what usually happens depending on where your loved one has passed, and what steps might come next.
