This is a difficult time. We’re here to make the process feel more manageable, guiding you through each stage with care.
Support and guidance as the funeral takes shape.
Call us at any time, day or night. A caring funeral specialist will begin supporting you straight away, including arranging for your loved one to be brought into our care.
Visit one of our welcoming funeral homes in Brighton East or Cheltenham, where you'll meet with a dedicated funeral director in a comfortable, private setting.
Choose music, readings, flowers and other personal touches that reflect your loved one. Tell us what matters most, and we’ll help make it happen.
A steady presence, helping the service run to plan.
Your funeral director can greet guests and guide the service, or support a priest, celebrant, or other officiant.
Your funeral director knows the service plan inside and out and will manage the details on the day, so you don’t have to.
Ongoing support, when you need it – because grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
We can connect you with trusted counselling and support services.
You’re warmly welcomed to our community events throughout the year, such as our our Mother's Day morning tea and annual Christmas Memorial Service.

Families across Bayside Melbourne rely on W.D. Rose for experienced guidance and steady support during difficult times. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly. We’re proud to be there for families when they need it most.
Excellent staff and processes.
Everything was explained well to us in a compassionate and professional manner. Options were given and good suggestions made when we asked for ideas. Every detail of the funeral process went well.
We have now used WD Rose on two occasions and both times have been very positive.
In such an emotional time, to have the wonderful staff to support and assist our family has been a huge help and comfort. The whole process has been one of kindness, support and a genuine care for our welfare at every stage.
Beautiful people to deal with.
Ran a very professional operation showing extreme care and friendship. Competitively priced and offered many options. The result was better than I could have imagined and our guests commented accordingly.
Yes. While we have two beautiful funeral homes – Brighton East and Cheltenham – we plan funerals and memorials at many locations across Melbourne. It’s a common myth that funerals have to be held at a chapel or church – we’ve helped families plan services and memorials at local parks, reserves and community centres.
We support families across the wider Bayside Melbourne area, including Cheltenham, Brighton, Sandringham, Mentone, Beaumaris, Moorabbin, Bentleigh, McKinnon, Mordialloc, Caulfield, Hampton, Black Rock, Elsternwick and Elwood.
The first step is simply to call us. A funeral specialist will listen, answer your questions and guide you through what happens next, including arranging care for your loved one.
Absolutely. At W.D. Rose, no two funerals are the same. We believe in making each funeral personal and can help coordinate special touches such as flowers, music, and readings.
