About us:

Golden Gate Funerals was founded in 2019 by our Managing Director, Anthony Cutajar, who built the company from the ground up, guided by five core values: honesty, compassion, respect, dignity, and genuine care, These values are more than just words they shape the way we care for every family. 

With Anthony’s leadership and the dedication of our entire team, these principles guide every aspect of our service.

We proudly serve families across Melbourne and greater Victoria, with dedicated and convenient locations in Keilor Park (15 km north of the CBD), Melton (35 km west), Whittlesea (around 30 km north) Oakleigh (19km East). While we are proudly local, our care knows no boundaries we are here to support families wherever and whenever they need us.

Our team is deeply connected to the communities we serve.

Many of our staff were born and raised in the local area, with strong ties to the neighbourhoods around our locations.

As a result, families are often met with familiar faces who understand not only the area, but also the value of community, tradition, and empathy during difficult times.

Golden Gate Funerals offers traditional funeral care and by traditional, we mean truly personal, in today’s fast paced world, we believe that meaningful connection, heartfelt service, and involving families every step of the way matters more than ever.

Whether you meet us at one of our locations or prefer the comfort of your own home, our service is shaped entirely around your needs.

With years of experience, our team brings innovation, cultural understanding, and a high level of attention to detail to every service.

We honour all faiths, backgrounds, and customs, and are committed to carrying out every special request with care and respect.

Specialised Services: Gentle Care by Women.

We are honoured to offer our families Pearl Gate Funerals by Women a fully female led service that provides gentle, female focused care for families who value this unique approach.
