A direct cremation, also known as a private cremation or no service, no attendance funeral service is a type of cremation service that is performed without a formal funeral ceremony. This means that family and friends of the deceased are not present when the cremation is being conducted.
To arrange a direct cremation, you will need to contact a direct cremation service funeral provider. The funeral director will be able to answer all your questions and help you plan the service that’s right for you and your family.
Transfers from a residence, aged care facility, or private hospital typically occur within 3 hours. Hospital or Coroner transfers may take longer.
There are many benefits to choosing a direct cremation. Direct cremations are typically more affordable than traditional funerals. They are also more flexible, as the family can choose the date and time of the cremation. Additionally, direct cremations can be more personalised, as the family can choose to conduct a memorial service in a venue that holds more meaning to their loved one and includes special elements in the service.
No upfront payment is required. Payment is requested once the cremation is scheduled, with flexible payment options available.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options, allowing you to pay in full or spread the cost over manageable instalments.
After the cremation, the loved one’s ashes will be returned to the family. The family can then choose to keep the ashes, memorialise them, scatter, or bury them. This decision can be made at a time the family are ready rather than being pressured by time constraint of a traditional funeral.
The process typically takes about 10 days, depending on necessary clearances and paperwork.
