FAQs
How long can the body of the deceased be kept in refrigeration?
Funerals usually take place within 2-4 days. The longest period we would suggest would be 3-4 weeks unless the body is embalmed.
Is a viewing always possible?
In most cases yes, but it would depend on the specific circumstances. At Mulqueen Family Funeral Directors we believe in the value of viewing and would endeavour to facilitate this where possible.
Is more than one coffin cremated at the one time in a cremator?
No. However in the case of a mother and baby / father and baby or twin children some crematoria will accept both in the same coffin.
Is there any significance in the colour of coffins?
No. This is purely a matter of personal choice.
What happens to the metal parts of a coffin at cremation?
Some crematoria remove the fittings because of chemical compositions and emissions. Any fittings removed are destroyed.
What is the percentage of cremations to burials?
There are approximately 30,000 deaths each year in Victoria with some 12,000 cremations taking place. In metropolitan areas approximately 60-65% of all funerals are cremations. In country areas the percentage varies dramatically.
