Arrange a direct cremation with Funerary

Let’s help you create a meaningful farewell by offering flexibility and choice

No bells and whistles but with love and care.

At the heart of our role is creating the time and space to mark the life and death of someone you love in a way that feels right to you.

Funerary is an alternative to a traditional funeral where no service is held.

Instead we let the family know the date and time of when the cremation will take place so they have the opportunity of a private reflection. Then when family and friends are ready they can do something special at home or a space that is meaningful for their person.

Celebrate their life the way they and you would want.

As an independent, bespoke and ethical funeral home in Adelaide,

we’re proud of the things that make us different.

What do you do at a celebration of life?

You can do all sorts of activities at a celebration of life event, from hosting a fundraiser to planting a garden. For you and your loved ones, the gathering might involve looking at old photos, raising a toast, and sharing memories. For others, it could mean visiting a special place or doing the deceased’s favourite activity. But above all, a celebration of life focuses on remembering and celebrating the person who has died. 

With our many years of experience we can assist in designing that perfectly unique Celebration.

Here are a few Celebration of Life ideas which we have been apart of.

  • Normally takes between 5 - 7 days.

  • We will contact you with as much notice as possible to advise you of the date and time the cremation will take place.

  • Within 4 days after the Cremation, Funerary will deliver the ashes to you by hand in a biodegradable scatter tube unless you supply us with your own choice of urn or select one from our range of handpicked, beautifully designed, well-crafted and ethically sourced urns.

  • The Funerary care team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Simply call us - we're always here to help.

  • Eco sensitive coffin

  • Your loved one can remain in the clothes they are wearing at the time of transfer. However, if you wish to have them wearing a particular outfit then this can be given to us at time of transfer. Funerary do offer a range of locally handmade and eco-conscious funeral shrouds.

  • We wanted to find a family funeral home who we felt comfortable with and who would help us with making our Mum's final celebration as unique as she was. Emily spent a lot of time going through Mum’s life. She was very empathetic and totally understood what we were wishing to capture and convey on the day of the funeral. The funeral itself was lovely, totally seamless and very much did justice to my Mum’s memories and her life. We would happily recommend Emily.

    Keegan Family

  • To dear Victoria and Emily, We are so grateful that you gave our dear mum Esther the most beautiful celebration of her life. Words cannot express how caring you girls have been through this whole process. Everyone commented on the beautiful service given. Much love and gratitude to you both.

    The Richards Family

  • We experienced only the best of care and compassion from Emily and the ladies at Funerary. Nothing was too much trouble. Our son was treated with the utmost dignity and respect and as a mum I just knew my son was in safe hands. We are so grateful for all the love, help, and guidance we received from Emily during such a difficult and distressing time.
