Business Overview

Losing someone you love is never easy. Arranging a funeral while you are still grieving can feel like too much to manage alone. Camilleri Funeral Directors International has supported families across St Paul's Bay, Qawra, Bugibba, Xemxija, Mellieha and Burmarrad with funeral services since 1890. Four generations of funeral directors and undertakers have cared for local families during this time. We have also guided relatives living abroad through the same difficult journey. Every funeral we arrange is handled with patience, care and respect. We listen carefully to what each family wants. Then we take charge of the details, so you have space to grieve.

Our office for St Paul's Bay sits on Triq il Wileg in Qawra. It is easy to reach for families across the north of Malta. Some people prefer not to travel while they are grieving. In that case, we can send a funeral arranger to your home Read Moreinstead. We will plan everything together, in the comfort of your own living room. If your loved one passes away at home, we can also help quickly. Our team can reach any residence within the hour. We are available any day or night of the year, including weekends and public holidays. You are never left waiting when you need us most.

When you choose Camilleri Funeral Directors, our undertakers take care of every practical step for you. We arrange the removal of your loved one from their place of passing. Our mortuary service then prepares them with care and dignity. If your family wishes to delay the funeral or hold a viewing, we offer embalming as well. You can choose from a wide range of coffins and caskets to suit your wishes and your budget. Solid wood, veneer and simpler options are all available. Our hearse carries your loved one to the church or cemetery with quiet respect. We can also arrange extra funeral cars, so close family can follow behind without worrying about transport.

Many families in St Paul's Bay choose to hold a funeral mass before burial. We organise the service at any church in Malta and liaise directly with the priest. We handle music, seating and timing, so the day runs smoothly. Once the service is complete, we carry out the burial service at the cemetery of your choice. Families in this area often choose Burmarrad cemetery or Addolorata cemetery, though we can arrange burial at any cemetery across Malta or Gozo. If you do not yet have a grave, we can help you secure a private or shared plot. We also take care of the paperwork this involves. You are not left chasing permits and forms during such a difficult time.

Some families want something different from a traditional burial. If your loved one always felt most at home by the water, we can arrange a burial at sea off the coast of Malta. We handle every permit, every detail of the boat and every step of the day itself. We also take care of funeral flowers to decorate the church, the hearse or the grave. Where a family wishes to mark the loss publicly, we write and place the obituary in the local newspapers. We design memorial cards too, often known locally as santini, which families keep and share with friends and relatives. Every choice is made to reflect the life and the person you are saying goodbye to.

Some families need to bring a loved one home from overseas, or send them abroad to be buried elsewhere. We manage body repatriation to and from Malta using our own freight agency. This means we are not waiting on a third party to arrange flights or paperwork. We handle every formality ourselves, including health certificates, airline requirements and customs documents. Our aim is always to bring your loved one home, or send them on their final journey, with the least possible delay. Throughout the process we stay in close contact with the family, so you always know what is happening and when.

Cremation is not yet available within Malta itself. To offer this option, we act as the exclusive local agents for Misterbianco Cremazioni, a crematory in Catania, Sicily. We arrange the international transfer of your loved one, the cremation service itself, and the safe return of the ashes to Malta. You can choose a cremation urn that reflects your loved one's character, from simple to more decorative designs. Once the ashes are home, the choice is yours. They can rest with you, be placed at a cemetery, or be scattered at sea, depending on what your family prefers. We guide you through each option calmly and clearly.

We do not believe cost should ever stand between a family and a dignified farewell. Our Funeral Assistance Fund helps cover a substantial part of the costs for anyone facing genuine financial difficulty. Simply speak to us, and we will explain how this support works. We also offer prepaid funeral plans, which let you set out your own wishes well in advance. These plans lock in today's prices, protecting your family from rising costs later on. Camilleri Funeral Directors International is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors in the UK and the World Federation of Funeral Operatives. Both memberships reflect our commitment to consistent, professional standards across every service we provide.
