A direct cremation means there is no hearse, pallbearers or ceremony at the crematorium. We bring the deceased from any location within Adelaide into our care. The cremation takes place at our trusted crematorium, Centennial Park, and we let the family know the date and time of the cremation so they can have a private moment of reflection in the comfort of their home or special place.

The ashes are then hand delivered to the family.

Family are then free to gather for a more unique and personal send-off.

Why?

There are a whole variety of reasons why someone might choose to have a direct cremation.

Sometimes it is the express wish of the person who has died that no-one should attend their funeral. Sometimes the geography of the situation dictates things such as, family living interstate or overseas. And sometimes it is just that there is a much more significant way of marking the death of someone you love than just attending a service.

We have wide experience of helping people to find ways that feel appropriate to them to say goodbye to the physical presence of their loved one. So whatever your needs, we hope that we can help you achieve what you want.

Home Funeralists:

Care for your loved one in your home

Looking after somebody who has died yourself can be immensely rewarding. Knowing that you have ensured that your person was cared for in death as they were cared for in life, by people who loved them, can help you feel that you have done everything possible for them, until the very last moment.

Not everyone will want to do this, nor will everyone be able to, and sometimes circumstances will mean that the opportunity doesn’t arise, but if you are someone who both wants too and feels that you can look after your person, then we will help guide you.

If you feel that you’d like to look after your person yourself rather than call a funeral director to take them into their care, then we can provide useful information that should help you with the practical issues involved.
