Here when you need us most
At Candour Funerals, we’re supporting families in Merricks to say goodbye with honesty, empathy, and care.
We believe funerals should feel personal and genuine — not rushed or clinical. That’s why we help you create a farewell that reflects the person, the love, and the life lived.
We guide you gently through each step, with no hidden costs and no pressure — just thoughtful support, when you need it most.
We go beyond the “eco” label—sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From biodegradable caskets and carbon-neutral transport to local sourcing and tree planting, we embed environmentally responsible and economically sustainable practices at every step.
We personalise every farewell to reflect your unique wishes. With a wide range of venues and bespoke options, we ensure your service is exactly as you envision it—supported by compassionate staff, thoughtful rituals, and a tone that feels true to you.
We build trust through open communication and always following through on our commitments to you. With pricing you can trust, no surprises.
Whether you're planning ahead or need immediate support, we're here for you 24/7—day or night, whenever you need us.

Anticipate needs
Candour organised the most beautiful tribute to my Mum, and the support that Simon and the team gave to me during the planning process was second to none. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure that the day ran perfectly. I received many compliments from friends and family on the professionalism of the staff and the exceptional flowers and catering.
Compassionate and attentive
Simon is an exceptional funeral director who is professional, compassionate, and attentive, and who goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect.
Perfect tribute
I really did not expect to process to be so easy. Simon and Sameiko were both wonderful every step of the way. My mother's tribute was perfect and the environmental angle was exactly what we were looking for. I could not recommend Candour more highly! Thank you
Absolute ease
Simon & the team assisted with Dads passing & service seamlessly. Very transparent, respectful & honest & took the time to know Dad & what he would have wanted & the service was exactly how he would have wanted it. I left some decisions to Candour & instinctively was carried out. I cannot recommend highly enough to care for not only a loved one who has passed but family as well. It was personal & about Dad & I cannot thank the team enough for what is a hugely stressful time to alleviating as much of the stress as possible. Thank you ❤️
Brillant care
Candour offers an alternative approach to funeral services with a dedication to be environmentally sensitive in every aspect of their business.Simon and Sameiko are professional, sensitive and delightful directors who made this an enjoyable and meaningful experience for me. I feel relieved my farewell will be a caring one for this earth and my family. Visit them for a chat, you'll be assured brilliant care, (alive and dead!), and your loved ones will thank you.
