A fresh approach to farewells

We are an independent, Sydney based, family run business of Funeral Directors, guiding families every step of the way to plan a meaningful goodbye.

At Soncini Funerals, we understand how important it is to honour your loved one in a way that reflects their life and legacy.
With compassion, clarity, and quiet strength, we help families navigate the planning process and create heartfelt, farewells.
Whether traditional or unique, we’re here to support you with respect, care, and understanding.

Why Choose Soncini Funerals?

It's the little things that matter.

We understand that choosing a funeral provider is a deeply personal decision. Many families return to us time and again, which we take as a true testament to the care and trust we’ve built within our community.
The feedback we receive often highlights one thing above all else— empathy. It’s this recognition that reminds us why we do what we do.

With years of experience behind us, what truly sets us apart is the personal care and genuine compassion we offer
every family we support. It’s never just about the service — it’s about people.
It’s about listening with empathy, understanding each unique situation, and gently guiding families with support every step of the way.

Testimonials

“We are deeply grateful to Melissa and Alex for the care and thoughtfulness they showed our family during the funeral arrangements for my father-in-law.

From the very beginning, they took the time to understand exactly what my mother-in-law wanted, working closely with our chosen Greek Orthodox church to ensure the service honoured both religious expectations and our personal wishes.

Melissa went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right and her attention didn’t end after the service; she delivered the ashes to us, which meant so much. We are truly thankful for the way they helped us say goodbye.”

Maria Krinis

“Last year, our family faced the heartbreaking loss of my mother. From the moment I contacted Melissa, I knew I was in capable hands.

The level of care, professionalism, and compassion she showed during such a difficult time was beyond anything I expected. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and she took the time to answer all my questions, making sure I felt supported every step of the way. Her kindness and attentiveness allowed me to focus on grieving and celebrating my mum’s life, knowing everything else was being taken care of.

I am deeply grateful for her help and highly recommend her services to anyone in need during such a challenging time. ”

Judi Fludder

"We cannot praise Melissa Soncini enough. Saying goodbye to a loved one is an emotional time. Melissa has a unique ability to connect with people. She listens & asks questions about our loved one. Melissa is empathetic, patient & "hands on" - she was with us every step of the journey.

Apart from her professional high standards, Melissa always made us feel we were friends - not just another client’s name on a piece of paper.

Melissa was instrumental in turning a sad & emotional day into a day to celebrate the life of our loved one; a time to remember, reminisce, share & honour all the things that made Sally so special to so many people..”
