Cremation is a commonly chosen option for many reasons. The process can vary depending on the service selected, and we help families understand what’s involved from start to finish. Some of the available options include:
- Private Cremation: No service held, with ashes returned to the family.
- Attended Cremation: A small service held before or after the cremation.
- Memorial Only: A farewell gathering with no cremation or burial present.
- Urn Selection: A range of urns and keepsakes are available.
- Ashes Scattering: Support with location options and required permissions.
Each option can be arranged based on what suits your circumstances. Contact our team to discuss what approach may work best for your family.
Standard Cremation Options
Standard cremation can be a straightforward option for families seeking a private, respectful process. This service may involve no formal ceremony or a simple gathering arranged separately.
- Service Flexibility: Cremation can take place with or without a farewell event.
- Urn Options: Ashes returned in a container selected by the family.
- Timing: May suit families needing extra time for memorial planning.
- Support: Guidance provided on the steps involved in the process.
This option can offer simplicity while still allowing families to remember their loved one in their own way. Call (02) 6557 8557 to speak with our team about standard cremation arrangements.
Cremation with Memorial Services
Some families choose cremation followed by a memorial service at a later time. This format offers flexibility and can be held in a location that holds personal meaning.
A memorial service may include photos, music, readings or tributes. It allows family and friends to gather in remembrance without the presence of a casket.
Contact our team to discuss cremation with a memorial option.
Private Cremation (No Ceremony)
Private cremation involves no formal service and takes place without family or guests present. Ashes are returned to the family, allowing them to choose how and when to hold a private remembrance.
This option may suit families seeking a quiet farewell or wishing to plan a gathering at a later date. Arrangements are handled with care, and all required processes are followed.
Call (02) 6557 8557 to enquire about private cremation.
Customised Cremation Ceremonies
Customised cremation ceremonies allow families to plan a farewell that reflects individual preferences. These ceremonies may take place before or after the cremation, and can be held in a chapel, home or outdoor setting.
- Personalisation: Ceremony elements chosen by the family.
- Venue Options: Indoor or outdoor settings based on preference.
- Timing: Held before or after the cremation process.
- Attendance: May be private or open to a wider group.
This format can suit those looking for flexibility in how a farewell is structured. Speak with our team to explore how a customised cremation service can be arranged.
Natural Scatter Gardens
Scatter gardens are designated spaces where ashes can be respectfully released. These locations are often landscaped and maintained, offering a peaceful setting for remembrance.
Some families may choose to visit regularly or hold a quiet tribute during the scattering. Permission and planning may be required depending on the site.
To learn more about available scatter garden options, contact our team.
Eco-Friendly Nature Urns
Nature urns are biodegradable and designed for earth-friendly memorials. These urns can be buried, placed in water, or used in tree planting memorials depending on the family’s choice.
They may suit families who wish to incorporate natural elements into the farewell. A range of designs and sizes may be available to consider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the cremation process typically involve?
Cremation involves the careful handling of the deceased, followed by the use of heat to reduce the body to ashes. This is done in a regulated facility under controlled conditions.
After the cremation, ashes are collected and placed into an urn or container. Families may choose to keep, scatter, or inter the ashes depending on their preferences.
Can a service be held with cremation?
Yes, a service can be held before or after a cremation. Families may choose to have a full funeral service followed by cremation or a memorial after the cremation has taken place.
Others may opt for a private cremation without a formal service. These choices often depend on family preferences, timing, and cultural or religious considerations.
What can be done with the ashes after cremation?
After cremation, the ashes are returned to the family in an urn or chosen container. Families can keep the ashes, scatter them in a meaningful location, or place them in a memorial site or columbarium.
Some choose to divide ashes among family members or use a portion in keepsake items. Local regulations may apply to scattering ashes, especially in public or natural areas.
