Memorial
A memorial following a direct cremation is a ceremony or gathering held to honour the life of a loved one, typically without the presence of the body or remains. After a direct cremation, where the cremation happens immediately without a prior service, families can plan a memorial at a time and place that best suits them. This flexibility allows for a more meaningful and personalised celebration of the deceased’s life.
We have proudly supported over 5,000 families across South East Queensland, delivering exceptional service with unmatched compassion every step of the way. Your trust in us is our greatest honour, and we’re committed to providing the highest standard of care.

After a direct cremation, where the cremation happens immediately without a prior service, families can plan a memorial at a time and place that best suits them. This flexibility allows for a more meaningful and personalised celebration of the deceased’s life.
Unlike traditional funerals, which may be more structured and time-sensitive, memorials offer the opportunity for families to create an experience that truly reflects the personality, values, and legacy of their loved one. Whether it is held in a favourite location, such as a beach, park, or even at home, memorials can be tailored to include special music, photos, videos, or personal anecdotes shared by family and friends.
This freedom allows for a more relaxed and heartfelt event, focusing on celebrating the life lived rather than mourning the loss. For families seeking a unique and intimate way to remember their loved one, a memorial after a direct cremation offers the space and opportunity to craft a ceremony that is deeply personal, fostering healing and honouring their memory in a way that feels right.

Eulogy and Life Tributes
A eulogy or life tribute is a central and deeply meaningful part of any memorial service, as it allows for the deceased’s life to be honoured, remembered, and celebrated. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the unique qualities, achievements, and character of the person, offering a personal and heartfelt narrative that helps mourners connect with the life that was lived.
The eulogy serves as a tribute to the legacy of the individual, highlighting not just significant milestones, but also the everyday moments that made them special. It offers comfort to the grieving by sharing stories, memories, and emotions that resonate with those in attendance, helping everyone present to feel closer to their loved one.
For family and friends, delivering a eulogy can be a way to process their own grief and find closure by expressing their love and admiration. For those attending, it creates a space for connection, fostering a sense of community as people bond over shared memories and feelings.
A well crafted eulogy adds depth and personal significance to a memorial, helping to transform it from a moment of loss into a celebration of life, providing comfort, healing, and a lasting tribute to the individual’s memory.
It can feel overwhelming to write a eulogy or life tribute, so we have created a great guide to help you create a eulogy that you will feel confident to deliver. You can download our guide to writing the perfect eulogy here.
