Closing Circles, Perth's Local Funeral Directors, for Cremations, Burials & End-of-Life Planning

Guiding families through the final chapters of life

As funeral directors we believe no family should have to plan a farewell while grieving without ever knowing 100% what their loved one truly wanted. We live this by sitting with families early, listening from the very first conversation, so nothing important gets missed.

Based in Bassendean, WA, our experienced funeral directors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering guidance in person at our office or at a location of your choice, including your home, hospital, or aged care facilities, helping families honour life’s final chapter with empathy, clarity, and professionalism.

Specialists in Every Step of the Farewell Journey

We specialise in guiding families through every part of their farewell, including cremations, burials, and end-of-life funeral planning. We help you to understand each option clearly, so no family has to make decisions in the dark or under pressure. This is essential when voluntary assisted dying gives families weeks or months they never expected to have.

Everything else we offer, including living wakes, memorials and pre-paid plans, exists to support families in honouring their loved one’s life and traditions.

Cremations

Cremation offers families a flexible and dignified way to say goodbye. From a quiet, unattended farewell to a full chapel service, we’ll explain every option clearly, so you’re choosing based on what’s unique to your family.

Burials

Burial is a tradition that carries deep meaning, often shaped by culture, faith, or family legacy. We support families across Perth and WA with both traditional and eco-friendly choices, sharing our knowledge to support your decisions

End-of-Life Planning

The kindest thing you can do is validate your funeral wishes. This brings peace of mind, for everyone. We’ll walk you through the entire process, ensuring your wishes are clearly expressed and honoured, while there’s still time to talk.

Additional ways we support your family

Voluntary Assisted Dying When VAD has been chosen, we help you plan a funeral that honours your wishes and eases the burden on your family.

Living Wake or Memorial Celebrate your own journey, or someone dear to you, with warmth, dignity, and support.

Prepaid Funeral Plans Lock in today’s cost, relieve your family of the financial burden, and ensure your farewell is done your way.

Livestreaming For family and friends who can’t be there in person, wherever they are in the world.

If you’re unsure which option feels right, we can walk you through each one at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Closing Circles provide?

Closing Circles specialises in end-of-life planning, cremations, and burials, alongside support for living wakes, memorials, Voluntary Assisted Dying, prepaid funeral plans, and livestreaming, all across Perth and country WA.

Are you available outside business hours?

Yes. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our consultations are held in our office or a space that feels comfortable to your family.

How soon do I need to make funeral arrangements?

There's no rush. Most funerals are arranged within 7 to 14 days of a passing, and we'll support you in finding a time frame that allows space for family, reflection, and practical considerations.

What's the difference between a Funeral Director and a Funeral Celebrant?

They're not the same, though they often work side by side. A Funeral Director guides the practical and legal side of a death and the arrangements around it, while a Celebrant leads the ceremony itself.

Do you support different cultures, faiths, and beliefs?

Yes. We respectfully support all cultural, spiritual, religious, and non-religious traditions and beliefs, including families and individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. We're experienced in shaping both traditional and contemporary farewells.

Do I need a funeral? I don't care what happens once I'm gone.

We hear this often, and it's a completely understandable way to feel. The truth is, you don't need an elaborate funeral. Legally, there are a few requirements, like registering the death and arranging a cremation or burial, everything else is optional.

Kelly-Anne held our hand through the whole process: she felt intensely personal. Her experience shows and everything has run smoothly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly-Ann is wonderful, caring, patient and has an excellent customer service. When I die, and still live in Perth, I shall choose my preplan service with her funeral arrangements without doubt and without comparing the price and quality of services with others as she is honest and warrants a good service with a reasonable price!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended a seminar by Closing Circles, which focused on discussion and awareness around the information a funeral director needs before sending details off for a Death Certificate. The session was thoughtfully structured and easy to follow, creating a safe and respectful space for open conversation. The presenter was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly experienced in the subject matter. Questions were answered with great care and consideration, and the responses were always truthful and transparent, even when addressing sensitive topics. Overall, it was a valuable and informative seminar that deepened understanding while maintaining compassion and professionalism throughout. Thank you for sharing. Susan

Owner's reply

Our aim is always to approach these conversations with care, transparency, and respect, and your words mean a great deal to us at Closing Circles. Thank you for being part of the discussion and for taking the time to share your experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we spoke, I felt completely reassured and supported during one of the hardest times of my life. Losing my mum was overwhelming, but the care, compassion, and guidance we received made such a difference.

Everything was explained clearly, gently, and with genuine empathy, nothing felt rushed and nothing felt like “just a process.” Every step was handled with respect and care, and I truly felt that my mum was being looked after as if she were family.

I have complete faith in the service provided and will forever be grateful for the calm reassurance and kindness shown to my family during such an emotional time. I couldn’t recommend Kelly-Anne highly enough to anyone needing support when it matters most.

Owner's reply
Mitchell, I appreciate your kind words and trust during such a difficult time. It was an absolute honour to support your family during this time and to know that your mum was able to have the farewell she deserved. Knowing that you felt reassured and guided through your grief means a great deal to me. Thank you for allowing me to help you through these steps and for sharing your experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KellyAnne from Closing Circles arranged the funeral for my brother-in-law.  She and her staff did an amazing job.  KellyAnne went above and beyond to help my sister with all the preparations.  Her care and compassion made the whole experience for her less daunting.  Her prices are very reasonable.  Her aim is to provide a caring and compassionate service without taking advantage of people's grief.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sadly we all lose love ones to death which has a devastating effect on us all. Having recently attended a family funeral I cannot speak highly enough of Kelly-Anne and her team. After the service and for the first time ever I approached a Funeral Director to state it was the best service I've ever attended. The way they spoke I felt like the deceased family member was with us.   I will never forget the beautiful service   To Kelly-Anne and team thankyou from the family

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for your deeply kind and thoughtful words Joe. We are truly humbled by your feedback.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Kelly-Anne and the team at Closing Circles enough for the love, care, compassion and professionalism showed throughout the organisation of two family members funerals. Kelly-Anne showed nothing but love and empathy to every family member and went beyond in every aspect in such devestating situations. My extended family are beyond thankful for you Kelly-Anne and would not hesitate to recommend yourself or Closing Circles to anyone. Thankyou xx
