Your right to choose doesn’t have to expire when you do All your life you’ve had a say over your choice of wardrobe, music, hobbies, and friends. So why is it, when it comes to your final wishes, there is hardly any choice? That’s not the way we see things at Sibuns. We think a funeral should be as unique and personal as the individual it honours. Whether that means playing Jimmy Barnes instead of Andrea Bocelli, or having your ashes sent into space instead of a vault, that’s the kind of freedom of choice Sibuns Funeral Directors believe in. And if this is the sort of freedom you seek, even after you’ve gone, call us.
