FUNERAL SERVICES
In partnership with Chapter House Funeral Directors
For immediate 24/7 assistance, call (03) 9855 0155.
Wooling Hill Memorial Estate works closely with Chapter House Funerals, a trusted Melbourne funeral home led by Troy and Liddy Upfield. While Chapter House operates independently as a fully accredited funeral home, our shared philosophy of care ensures families receive a seamless and compassionate experience. For those wishing to hold a service at Wooling Hill, this partnership allows every aspect of your loved one’s farewell, from planning to interment, to be arranged by one connected and trusted team, so you feel fully supported throughout the process.
How We Help
We can meet you at Wooling Hill or visit you anywhere across Greater Melbourne, wherever you feel most comfortable.
Together, we’ll create a farewell that is personal and meaningful, at your pace and in your own way. Every detail, from flowers and music to catering and order of service booklets, can be arranged by our team.
Alternatively, families are welcome to organise elements themselves, such as their own florist, musician, or photo tribute. We’ll liaise with any external providers to ensure everything runs smoothly, and our staff will support you with every part of the service.
