About Us

In the middle of the 1930s, my grandfather Honess Baggs, moved to Bairnsdale to do survey work with the Civil Construction Corp. Honess, who was a builder by trade, began making coffins and conducting funerals with G.H. Vickers, funeral directors.

He later worked for Holford and Craig funeral directors and then Williams and Lee funeral directors before he and my father Buffy went into business for themselves in 1962. 2014 marks 80 years of my family conducting funerals across the Gippsland region. - Stephen Baggs.

Prepaid Funerals

Planning Your Funeral

Prepaid Funerals

There are many reasons people prepay their funeral service. For many, it’s the peace of mind of having everything organized. There are other advantages. A prepaid funeral service enables you to hedge against inflation, while providing an investment that is safe and government guaranteed.

When we plan a prepaid funeral service, we arrange it in the same way we would arrange a funeral service that is required today. We explain all your choices and discuss with you fully what you would like to have included in your funeral service.
