Cremation is the beginning, not the end.
We help you take care of the practical elements of cremation at an affordable price. Our unattended cremation takes place without a funeral ceremony or mourners present. Once we return the ashes, you can choose how, when and where to remember the person who has died, whether that’s a gathering at home, a favourite place or something just for you.
To check whether we can help, enter the postcode of the hospital, aged care home or other location where the person who has died is currently located. If they are outside our main service area, call us to discuss the options and any additional transfer costs.
How Canberra arrangements work
1
Check coverage and contact our team
Use the postcode checker then begin the online arrangement or call us. If the address is outside our main service area, please call before proceeding. We will discuss transfer availability and any additional costs.
2
Arrange the transfer into our care
Tell us where the person who has died is located and the relevant contact details. Our team will explain what can be arranged and discuss timing based on the circumstances.
3
Complete the required information
We guide you through the details needed for the cremation and death registration. You can complete arrangements online and by phone. If you do not know an answer, ask us for guidance so the information supplied is accurate.
4
Receive the ashes
After the cremation, we arrange delivery of the ashes in a basic container to your nominated Australian postal address. You can choose to keep them, consider an urn or make plans for a separate remembrance.
What Does a Canberra Cremation Cost?
Ashes are supplied in a basic container. Optional urns and keepsakes can be purchased separately, and any memorial you choose to organise is separate from the cremation service.
The standard price is the same across our main service areas. For a location outside those areas, call us about transfer arrangements and any additional costs. Our cremation costs page has more detail about what is included.
An unattended cremation costs $1,995 including GST within our main service area. This includes transfer into our care, mortuary care, a cremation coffin, the required documentation and death registration, the official death certificate, cremation, and delivery of ashes anywhere in Australia.
When family members live in different places
If you are organising arrangements for someone in Canberra while living interstate or overseas, our team can assist you remotely. You do not need to travel to an office to complete the arrangements.
The ashes can be delivered anywhere in Australia, including to a PO Box. This allows you to nominate the person who will receive them rather than requiring them to remain in Canberra.
You might choose to bring family together later, when travel can be organised, or keep your remembrance private. Our memorial ideas page offers suggestions for a separate farewell without requiring a formal funeral service.
Prepaid cremations in the ACT
Planning ahead can be useful if you have a clear preference for a simple cremation or want to give family a starting point for future arrangements.
Our prepaid cremations cost $2,135 including GST and are available Australia-wide, including Canberra. A plan lets you record your preference and pay for the agreed cremation service at today’s price.
If your location is outside our main service area, discuss transfer arrangements and any additional costs with us before proceeding. Keep the plan details somewhere accessible and tell a person you trust how to find them.
