Supporting our community

We believe that caring for families means caring for the whole community. That's why we're committed to giving back in ways that matter.

Queensland is part of who we are

Whether we're hosting community events or supporting local causes, our funeral homes in Nerang and Southport have deep, treasured connections across the region.

Supporting local causes

From our annual Christmas toy drive with the Newlife Community Centre to our ongoing support of the Nerang Neighbourhood Centre's food box program, we're proud to open our doors and our hearts to the causes our community cares about.

Backing community groups

Our teams support local sporting clubs including NRL and AFL teams, the Southport Sharks, Runaway Bay RSL and Emerald Lakes Women's Golf Club, and are active members of Nerang Rotary, Purple Hearts, blood donation drives and Memorial Star.

Helping families in need

We're also a community drop-off point for clothing, homewares, non-perishable food and personal hygiene items, supporting local families doing it tough, including those affected by domestic violence and homelessness.

Honouring the Gold Coast's multicultural heritage

We have a diverse team that brings a wealth of experience and understanding to our services. This allows us to care for loved ones from many different cultures, including Chinese, South East Asian, Pacific Islander, European, Hindu, Sikh, Baha'i, Buddhist and many others.

Trusted by families across the Gold Coast

All the employees of Sommerville Funerals were very caring and all requests for help were very quickly put in place and resolved.

I would like to express my gratitude to Alison and her team at Somerville Funerals Nerang for the exceptional service they have provided to help me and my son to farewell our beloved husband and father, for thinking of every little detail and for guiding us through this difficult time.

I will always be grateful to Sharron for her professionalism, care and advice - in what for me was an extremely difficult time. 

Thank you Sharron and Somerville.

Very grateful.
