Bereavement Assistance provide a quality, dignified service at low-cost to Victorian families struggling financially.
Bereavement Assistance is a not-for-profit registered charity, and we are dedicated to helping families who may be struggling financially, leaving them free to grieve without the added financial stress of costs associated with engaging with a commercial funeral service.
At Bereavement Assistance you have the choice of either a private, unattended cremation; or a private, unattended burial.
As a not-for-profit registered charity, we rely on a number of commercial partnerships, with our primary partnership being with the Victorian State Government through the Department of Health and Human Services. Our agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services requires us to determine eligibility for our services therefore, if a family approaches Bereavement Assistance seeking to engage our services, we will request financial records from families in order to determine a family’s eligibility.
Potter’s Field Funerals – a low-cost alternative to commercial funeral providers.
Bereavement Assistance also has a commercial partnership with Potter’s Field Funerals, a funeral service provider that offers a variety of funeral service options where the costs compare very favourably to services offered by a commercial funeral service provider.
Through Potter’s Field Funerals you have the choice of several types of funeral services…
- Private, Unattended Cremation.
- Private, Unattended Burial.
- Chapel or Church Service followed by either cremation or burial.
- Service in a home or other venue followed by either cremation or burial.
- Green burial option.

We understand the confusion, stress and sense of loss at the time of arranging a funeral for your loved one.
That’s why our staff take time to explain the service options available, guide you through the process and find ways to help you and your family… whether that is financial assistance by providing dignified, quality, low-cost funerals or suggesting alternatives to traditional commercial funerals.
Our mission is to relieve poverty, financial and emotional distress by providing practical assistance with our funeral services, so you can give your loved ones a dignified farewell and feel free to grieve.
We believe everyone, no matter what their financial, social or family circumstances are, has the right to a quality, dignified funeral service – rather than putting their family into financial hardship or having a pauper funeral. We never turn anyone away.
