Direct Cremation
An Unattended Cremation or Direct Cremation gives you the freedom to plan a meaningful memorial at your own pace. It gives you time to grieve before you celebrate your loved one’s life. We give you the complete freedom to celebrate life any way you like.
Affordable Direct Cremations in Ipswich, Gold Coast & Brisbane
An Unattended Cremation is a simple, no fuss cremation without the traditional funeral service. Your loved one comes into our care from their place of passing, then we prepare them for cremation in a simple and respectful way, following their cremation, their ashes and death certificate (plus 6 certified copies) is available for collection from our Underwood facility, or you can choose to have them delivered. You can choose to receive your loved ones ashes in a standard cremation container or select one of our stunning cremation urns at the time of arranging their cremation.
Beyond Brisbane, our direct cremation services are available throughout Ipswich, The Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast & Toowoomba.
