Morleys Funerals serves all parts of Townsville City, Thuringowa, Northern Suburbs, Coastal towns, and regional North Queensland. No matter where you are, suburb, coastal, or rural, our team is committed to delivering compassionate funeral services, cremations, and preplanning support across the wider region.

A funeral typically includes a formal ceremony with the body present, followed by a burial or cremation. A memorial service occurs after cremation or burial, without the physical presence. At Morleys, we can coordinate either approach based on your preferences, whether you choose a traditional funeral or a post-service memorial gathering in Townsville, our team helps curate an experience that honours the life lived.

Our team will walk you through each option and help you select what matters most.
