A Simple Alternative to a Traditional Funeral
Not everyone wants a traditional funeral service. Some families prefer a private farewell, want to hold a memorial later or simply do not want to pay for the formality and expense of a traditional funeral.
Our unattended cremation gives Melbourne families another option. We take care of the practical arrangements while leaving you free to decide how, when and where you remember the person who has died.
You might gather at home, scatter the ashes somewhere meaningful, hold a memorial when family can attend or choose not to have a formal event at all. There is no required way to say goodbye.
