A simple arrangement.
Care in every detail.

Direct Cremation is a cremation without a formal ceremony or attendance at the crematorium. It can suit families who prefer a quiet arrangement, or who would like to hold a separate memorial later.

There is still a person to turn to. Our local team will explain the arrangements and stay in touch, so you understand what happens next.

What we help arrange

  • Transfer of your loved one into our care
  • Care, documentation and cremation arrangements
  • The cremation and essential arrangements
  • Death registration and return of ashes

We’ll confirm the precise inclusions and any additional charges in your written quote. The advertised Essential package includes weekday transfer; weekend and public holiday transfers incur an additional fee. Dressing and attendance at the cremation are not included.

Room to remember in your own way

You may choose to gather at home, share a favourite meal or arrange a memorial at a later date. A simple cremation does not decide how you remember someone.

01What does a direct cremation cost?

Essential Direct Cremation is $2,595 and Premium Direct Cremation is $3,195, including GST. The full package inclusions and exclusions are shown above. Extra fees can apply, including weekend and public holiday transfers; we will confirm the total in an itemised quote.

02How do the two direct cremation packages differ?

The Essential package lists cremation at our private Sydney crematorium. The Premium package lists transfer to a crematorium of choice and cremation at any Sydney/Central Coast crematorium. Both exclude dressing of the deceased and attendance at the cremation point.

03Can we have a memorial afterwards?

Yes. A private cremation and a later gathering are separate choices. You can remember your loved one in your own way, or ask us to help arrange a memorial service or celebration of life. Any memorial costs will be quoted separately.

04How are the ashes returned?

Both published packages include return of your loved one’s ashes in the standard plastic receptacle supplied by the crematorium. We will talk through timing and arrangements with you. An alternative urn is a separate choice; ask about available options and prices.

05Can you arrange care at any time?

You can speak to us on 1800 971 001, 24 hours a day. Collection requires an agreed appointment, so please call us to arrange a time. Location and timing may affect the transfer cost.
