About Us
Westella Funerals are caring, independent and locally owned.
Jenna & Matt Grice - Your Caring Funeral Directors
Westella is a beautiful place to say goodbye to your loved one and does not feel like your typical funeral home. We care and we are about helping people, and making a difference. Gently walking alongside the bereaved, in one of their most significant times of need - this is at the heart of what we do. We’re there for you, guiding, listening and assisting with what is needed to create meaningful funerals.
We are the funeral directors who support community, who buy raffle tickets at your kids school, who sponsor local sports and service clubs, who you pass in the isle of the supermarket. We are local, with a common goal to provide reasonably priced funerals that are beautiful and unique whilst giving gentle support to those grieving a loss.
Funerals Australia
We are proud members of Funerals Australia, an association which has represented professional funeral directors throughout Australia since 1935.
Funerals Australia (previously the Australian Funeral Directors Association, AFDA) requires its members to abide by a strict code of ethics, and has minimum standards of quality premises, equipment and vehicles, along with ongoing education and training for our professional staff, thus ensuring the public of high standards in funeral service.

"Westella Funerals were accomodating, thoughtful and professional in all their arrangements and communication. From the outset, they navigated our needs with grace and compassion. The attention to detail, together with the ability to meet the needs of individuals combined to make the process of farewelling a loved one less stressful and potentially healing. Everything was taken care of in a professional manner all the while maintaining dignity and ensuring a balance between a celebration and a farewell. Thank you to Matt and Jenna and staff for all the care, compassion and kindness they showed to myself and my family and friends. I highly recommend this first class service for niche funerals." - Helen Straughan
"When my Mum passed we wanted to have something caring, intimate and cosy, and that's exactly what Matt and Jenna created for us. They guided us through the steps to have the funeral that we wanted and our memories of the day will always be of a calm and loving finale for Mum. We can't thank Westella enough for the little touches that just make the difference to the whole experience." - Pam & Ian Harley
"Matt & Jenna were amazing helping me organise my Dad’s funeral. Jenna made sure Dad looked like my Dad and when I made last minute changes she was more than happy to change/add clothing. Matt helped every step of the way as I had no idea where to start. Westella is a beautiful spot to farewell loved ones." - Paula Peters
"Westella Funerals went above and beyond, facilitating the celebration of our father, Michael. The attention to detail, care and diligence with the process, was nothing short of excellence. Jenna and Matt, we thank you again for everything that you have done for us as a family. Forever grateful. Ps. The venue is serene, stylish and peaceful." - Charlotte Harris
"I cannot find the words to adequately convey the care and empathy with which my family and I were treated at this indescribable time of loss. Every detail was anticipated, options offered, and solutions provided. The respect that my wife was accorded was comforting, and her funeral service was conducted in a manner that reflected her capacity to love and her spirituality. The facilities and venue for family and friends to gather and remember after the service were exceptional. Such first-class treatment is accompanied by reasonable costings that are transparently available." -
