Understanding funerals in Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills

If you are reading this, you may be facing one of the most difficult times in your life. Whether a death has just occurred or you are thinking about the future, finding a trusted funeral director in Mount Barker can make a real difference to how your family moves through this experience.

Kleemann Funerals is a family owned business based in the Adelaide Hills, providing dignified and respectful services to families across Mount Barker, Mt Barker Summit, Nairne, Hahndorf, Littlehampton and surrounding townships. With over 160 years of experience in funeral care, the Kleemann family has been part of the local community for five generations.

Traditional church or chapel services

A formal service held at a local church or at the Carr Memorial Chapel in Mount Barker, followed by burial or cremation. Services can be held in dedicated chapels, local churches, halls, and gravesides.

Cremation services

Cremation is often less expensive than burial and allows for flexible memorial service options. The cremation itself can be completed in a few hours, with ashes returned to the family for interment or private keeping.

Burial services

Burial typically involves a formal service at the graveside. It requires a cemetery plot and ongoing maintenance through the relevant council. The Mount Barker District Council manages local cemeteries with burial records dating back to the 1850s.

Natural burials

For families seeking an environmentally conscious farewell, natural burials use biodegradable materials, avoid chemical embalming and minimise visible memorials. The Martungka natural burial ground, opened in 2024 within Kersbrook Cemetery, is one local option.
