Founded by Michael and Vicky Kiriazis and accredited by the NFDA, our experienced Catholic funeral directors in Sydney work closely with families, Catholic priests, parishes, churches and cemeteries to arrange dignified, faith-based funerals that follow the sacred traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church.

​
We proudly serve Catholic families from all cultural and community backgrounds, including Vietnamese, Italian, Irish, Filipino, Lebanese, Polish, Croatian and many other Catholic communities throughout Sydney. We understand that a Catholic funeral is not simply a ceremony — it is an expression of faith, a prayer for the soul of the departed and an important source of comfort and consolation for those left behind. Our team ensures each funeral reflects the family's faith, cultural traditions and personal wishes, providing compassionate Catholic funeral care throughout Sydney with dignity, respect and a deep understanding of the Catholic funeral tradition.
A Catholic funeral is an act of faith. We ensure every rite is observed with the reverence and care it deserves.
The Catholic Funeral - Step By Step
At Acropolis Funeral Services, we understand that arranging a Catholic funeral in Sydney is an important and deeply personal responsibility for families. From the initial transfer into our care and the Vigil or Rosary through to the Catholic Funeral Mass and graveside committal, our experienced funeral directors coordinate each stage with your family, parish priest and chosen cemetery. We provide compassionate guidance throughout the process, ensuring every part of the Catholic funeral is arranged with dignity, reverence and respect for your family's faith and wishes.
Professional Transfer Into Our Care
When your loved one passes, we transfer them into our care — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We treat every person entrusted to us with the same dignity and respect we would wish for our own family.
The Vigil (Rosary Service)
The Vigil for the Deceased — often the Rosary — is typically held the evening before the Funeral Mass. We arrange the chapel, coordinate with your priest, and ensure flowers and candles are placed appropriately.
The Day Of The Funeral Service
We organise the funeral mass for families wishing to farewell their loved one in line with traditions of the Catholic Church. We liaise with your chosen parish and arrange all details of the mass on your behalf.
The Graveside Committal
The final prayers at the cemetery as your loved one is laid to rest. We handle all cemetery bookings, liaise with the grave-side officiants, and ensure everything is organised with care and reverence.
Which Sydney Catholic Communities Do We Serve?
Over two decades, we have built deep relationships with Catholic communities across every corner of Sydney. We are experienced in the funeral customs of Vietnamese, Irish, Italian, Filipino, Lebanese, Polish, Croatian, Maltese, Indian and all other Catholic communities.
​
From arranging Rosary and Vigil prayers, church bookings and clergy coordination, to preparing personalised memorial stationery, livestreaming services and organising burial or cremation according to Catholic traditions, every detail is handled with professionalism, dignity and genuine care.
​
We understand that every Catholic family, parish and cultural community has its own cherished traditions, devotions and expectations surrounding a funeral service. Our role is to guide you through the process with compassion, reverence and respect, ensuring your loved one’s farewell faithfully honours their Catholic faith, cultural heritage and the sacred traditions of the Church.
