What does direct cremation involve?

A direct cremation is exactly that: no funeral service, no viewing, just an unattended cremation. It offers the same level of respect as a traditional funeral service, with fewer costs involved. It gives Gladstone families the time and space to organise a meaningful goodbye.

At Good Cremations, our team understands how overwhelming and difficult it is to lose a loved one. We will guide you through the legal requirements and keep you informed every step of the way.

Why do Gladstone families choose direct cremation?

There are many reasons why families choose direct cremation with Good Cremations, including:

  • Affordability and simplicity

  • Environmental considerations

  • Families being overseas or interstate and needing time to travel

  • Families wanting to personalise their goodbyes at a later date

  • Family estrangement

  • Exams and work commitments

It is not always about money, but sometimes it is. A traditional funeral service can include the coffin, flowers, venue, music, slideshow, booklets and celebrant. These costs can add up.

Maybe the time is just not right with family and work commitments. A direct cremation allows you to hold a memorial service at a later date, giving you time to focus and plan a personalised goodbye.

Good Cremations will handle the process respectfully, with the ashes available for family collection.

Suggestions for ashes

  • Purchase a suitable urn to keep within the family home.

  • Arrange interment in a memorial garden.

  • Scatter ashes in a significant location, remembering that some locations may require a permit or permission.

  • Incorporate ashes into jewellery and keepsakes for family members.

Ask the team at Good Cremations for scattering suggestions, urn catalogues or other options.
