Consider Volunteering or Working as a Pallbearer
A Dignified Farewell
When citizens living on the edge of society – or those who have no family or friends – pass away, there’s often nobody to oversee their journey to a final resting place.
To provide these members of our community with a dignified farewell, we enlist the help of volunteer pallbearers – not only to assist in the practical aspect of carrying the casket, but to ensure the deceased has someone to respectfully acknowledge and honour their life during burial.
Helpers can Volunteer their time, or accept a $35 donation to a charity of choice or payment for participation.
Help us to ensure that all members of our community are given a careful and dignified burial; volunteer or work today as an eco Pallbearer.
