Family-owned and run mortuary service
Bellrae’s mortuary services bring together experienced mortuary specialists, restorative practitioners, and a standard of care grounded in dignity and respect. We look after every person as if they were our own family.
Bellrae specialises in providing the highest standard of body care and post-death presentation, preparing the deceased for funeral arrangements and burial, cremation, or repatriation.
These early steps are performed by professionals calmly and with respect, guided by qualifications in mortuary science and years of experience caring for bereaved families across Australia.
Post-death care and support
Post-death care involves a series of procedures that ensure the deceased person is cared for and prepared for viewing and final disposition or transportation.
For many families, these details matter deeply. They help create a final memory that feels comfortable, peaceful, and familiar. Every action our team takes aligns with public health guidelines in Australia while remaining mindful of the emotions that come with this stage.
Why do we embalm the deceased?
Some families request additional time for relatives arriving from interstate to attend the funeral or to hold viewings over several days. Others may require specific measures for repatriation, especially when the person is being returned overseas.
Our mortuary team is trained in restorative art, cosmetic presentation, and advanced preservation techniques to support these needs.
The goal is simple: we help families spend time with their loved ones without feeling rushed or worried about changes in their loved one’s appearance.
How does viewing the deceased help with the grieving process?
Viewing a loved one after death can be difficult, but it may also provide comfort and clarity. Many families tell us that having a calm, dignified viewing space helps them face the reality of their loss and begin to process it.
Preparation may include:
- Sanitisation to meet transportation requirements and protect the health of the general public.
- Presentation, restoration and cosmetic work to return the body to a more natural presentation.
- Reconstructive work to minimise the results of trauma and disease before death.
- Preservation and embalming
