Frequently Asked Questions
What is a direct cremation?

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.

How do I arrange a direct cremation?

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.

How long does it take for the transfer to happen?

Transfers from a residence, aged care facility, or private hospital typically occur within 3 hours. Hospital or Coroner transfers may take longer.

What are the benefits of choosing a direct cremation?

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.

Is payment for the direct cremation service required upfront?

No upfront payment is required. Payment is requested once the cremation is scheduled, with flexible payment options available.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, we offer flexible payment options, allowing you to pay in full or spread the cost over manageable instalments.

What happens after the direct cremation service?

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.

How long does the process take from death to returning my loved one's ashes?

The process typically takes about 10 days, depending on necessary clearances and paperwork.
