Cremation in the Southern Highlands
Fixed Price Cremations offers a straightforward option for people in Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale and the surrounding Southern Highlands who prefer an unattended cremation.
The price is $1,995 including GST within our main service area. Prepaid cremations are also available for $2,135 including GST, allowing you to make your own arrangements ahead of time.
Start by checking the relevant postcode. If the location is outside our main service area, call us to discuss transfer availability and any additional costs.
A simple option for the Highlands
You may be following someone’s request to keep their arrangements modest, comparing costs, or deciding what you would prefer for yourself. An unattended cremation can suit people who want the cremation handled professionally without organising a funeral ceremony.
We arrange to transfer the person who has died into our care, the required documentation and the cremation. You can speak to our team by phone and complete arrangements online. We will explain what information is needed and answer questions as you go.
There is no expectation to add a formal farewell. If you would like to hold a memorial after the ashes are returned, you can organise one separately.
Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale and surrounding areas
The Highlands includes town centres, smaller communities and rural properties. The exact location matters when organising a transfer, so please use the postcode checker or call our staff rather than relying on the regional name alone.
Enter the postcode for the location of the person who has died. If you are planning ahead, check your own location postcode and speak with us if it falls outside of the main service area.
For a transfer from a private home or a property outside town, let us know the address and any access information when you call. Our team can then discuss the arrangements and give you a realistic indication of timing. Phone support is available day and night.

Keeping a farewell personal
For some families, a meal at home or an afternoon with close friends feels most appropriate to remember the person you love. Others prefer a gathering at a hired venue once relatives can attend. There is no requirement to organise anything if that doesn’t feel right to you.
Separating the cremation from any form of memorial gives you time to decide what suits the person who has died and those remembering them. You might share photographs, invite people to tell a story or simply spend time together.
Ashes can be kept in the supplied container, placed in an urn, or used in another memorial arrangement. Our cremation urns page explains the optional choices available for scattering ashes or for keeping an urn on display.
Prepaid cremations in the Southern Highlands
Planning ahead starts with deciding what you want and recording it clearly. If an unattended cremation is your preference, a prepaid plan lets you arrange and pay for the agreed service at today’s price.
The prepaid price is $2,135 including GST. Plans are available Australia-wide, including the Southern Highlands. If you live outside our main service area, please contact us to discuss transfer arrangements.
Once you have prepaid, share the plan details with a family member or another person you trust, so they know who to contact when the time comes.
Southern Highlands questions
Can I arrange a cremation without visiting an office?
Yes. Our team can guide you through the process over the phone and online. You can make all the necessary arrangements from anywhere when organising a cremation for someone in the Southern Highlands.
Does the fixed price apply to rural properties?
The price applies to suburbs within our main service area, which is checked by postcode. For a location outside of this service area, please call us to discuss the transfer and any additional costs.
Can family attend the cremation?
Our service is unattended, so family and friends do not attend the cremation. You can organise a separate memorial afterwards at a location that suits you, if you wish. We can also let you know the date and time of the cremation, so your family can choose to gather together in your own way.
What if the person has died at home?
If someone has died at home, you should call us as soon as you are ready, particularly if you’re further away from larger towns and cities.
