About Embrace Funerals
Embrace is a family-owned funeral home in Adelaide, run by a small team who want funerals to feel easier for every family in our care. Over 200+ families have left 5-star reviews about their time with us.
Welcome, I’m Deanne Edwards
I started Embrace Funerals to provide a calmer & gentler way for Adelaide families to say goodbye to the people they love.
I spent more than a decade working with some of Adelaide's largest funeral homes before starting Embrace Funerals. During that time, I fell in love with caring for families through one of life's most difficult experiences. I also developed a vision for a calmer, more personal and less overwhelming way to say goodbye.
So I started Embrace to bring that vision to life. A funeral home where families feel genuinely supported, never rushed, and confident in every decision. Where honest conversations, transparent pricing and thoughtful, individual care are simply part of the experience.
Since then, we’ve helped over 2,000 Adelaide families say goodbye to the people they love. Embrace has become Adelaide's highest-rated funeral home, and we've never stopped doing what we promised ourselves on day one: Always care for every family the way we'd want our own family to be cared for.
