We want to reassure the community we uphold the highest standards of hygiene, cleanliness and social distancing guidelines.
In response to recommendations from the NSW Government made on August 2, we are also ensuring our staff wear face masks at funeral services and during arrangements and families may also wish to wear masks at this time.

Our services
Allan Drew and his team of funeral directors offer you their experienced care in creating a celebration of life, hope, faith and love, and his funeral directors will help you personalise all aspects of the funeral service so that it is a memorable farewell to your loved one.
At Allan Drew Funerals we are committed to providing exceptional services to each and every family in the Hills District.
We have partnered with OneRoom to provide a quality video streaming option for family and friends who are unable to attend the funeral service. All that is needed is an internet connection and a device that can display video, and the email invite to access recording..
When you're organising a funeral service, one of the first decisions will be whether you are organising a burial or a cremation. This choice will directly impact the type of funeral service you will have.
Preplanning your funeral makes sense. A prepaid funeral takes the emotional stress off your family, locks in your funeral cost at today’s price, and allows you to plan things your way.
Each memorial park will have a range of memorial options for you to choose from, suitable to all budgets, beliefs, faiths and cultures. We can recommend a number of memorial parks and gardens in Sydney and NSW.
