At A Better Way Funerals, we provide Funeral Director Services on the Northern Beaches of Sydney

I’m Keri, your local funeral director here at A Better Way Funerals in Balgowlah, and I proudly serve families across Sydney’s Northern Beaches with compassion, care and transparency. I know how difficult it is to make decisions while grieving, which is why I take the time to listen, guide and gently support you through every step of the funeral process.

As an independent funeral director, I offer personalised service without the pressure or upselling you often find with large corporations. Whether you’re planning a traditional
funeral, a direct cremation, or a memorial by the beach, I’ll take care of all the details—so you can focus on what truly matters: honouring your loved one.

I work with families right across the Northern Beaches, from
Manly and Balgowlah to Dee Why, Freshwater and Avalon. I’ll meet you wherever you're most comfortable—at your home, or even online. Every service I offer is guided by your values, your wishes, and your budget, with upfront pricing and no surprises.

As your funeral director, I handle everything from paperwork and logistics to liaising with celebrants, venues, florists and crematoria. My commitment is simple: to offer ethical, affordable funeral director services that place people before profits.

If you need someone to walk beside you during this difficult time, I’m here—day or night. I’ll make sure your loved one is farewelled with dignity, and that you feel supported every step of the way.

Keri was amazing! I was blown away by her compassion, kindness and consideration throughout. She listened attentively and followed exactly what was asked and went out of her way to make my sister's funeral both beautiful and seamless whilst also comforting and checking on us all along the way.

I’m not sure I can fully express the depth of my gratitude to Keri and her team at Better Way Funerals. From the moment my beautiful mum passed away, Keri guided us with compassion, care and a level of kindness that was both comforting and genuine. I cannot recommend Better Way Funerals highly enough.
