InvoCare CEO, Andrew Smith, welcomes the Bondi Junction community to the new Guardian Funerals location.In the late 1880’s, when the tramlines going down to Bondi Beach, Charing Cross and Bronte were extended, Bondi Junction was born.

A lot has changed since then; life has changed, Sydney has changed, and Bondi Junction has changed too. But one thing that hasn’t changed is a family’s need for guidance and care whenever a loved one passes away.

At around about the same time that Bondi Junction was created, so too were some of the state’s most experienced funeral directors beginning their journeys to earn the trust of the people of New South Wales.

Names such as JW Chandler Funerals (1885) and Metcalfe & Morris (1890) Funerals will be new to the people of Bondi Junction and Waverley; but for the people of Windsor, Parramatta and Lismore these names have been the hallmarks of funeral service providers with the very best of reputations. It is these funeral directors, along with many others, that have come together to form the Guardian network of funeral service providers.

In funeral services reputations are built not only on the cornerstones of professionalism, respect for all, compassion towards those experiencing grief and integrity, but also, and importantly, by playing an active part of the community.

Guardian Funerals experience in this regard stretches back to 1882.

Bondi Junction will benefit from the opening of the new Guardian Funerals location in many ways. The funeral home has a full service chapel attached, so that families can have the convenience of a service held in a beautiful, local chapel that comes equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment so that they can share music, video and photos of their loved one.

The locality will also benefit by having such an experienced and trustworthy team of funeral directors on hand to support both
families in need, and the vibrant life that goes on throughout the eastern suburbs.
