Our Direct Cremation Services
More families in Melbourne and the surrounding areas are exploring direct cremation as an alternative to a traditional funeral service. At Statewide Cremations, we offer affordable direct cremation and a high level of service and personal care. We’re here to help you make decisions that are right for your situation.
What Is Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation is a form of cremation that occurs shortly after passing. There is usually no funeral service prior to the cremation taking place. However, you are welcome to hold a memorial service in place of a traditional funeral service or explore other options.
What Are the Benefits of Direct Cremation?
For many families, one of the most appreciated benefits of a direct cremation is the ability to respectfully ease their financial burden. It’s an option that could result in thousands of dollars in savings and gives families more freedom to make arrangements in a way that’s personal, practical, and meaningful.
What Are Traditional Funeral Service Options?
A traditional service can be held following cremation with your loved one’s ashes present in place of a coffin. This is worth considering if you’ll need more time to make other arrangements prior to the funeral service. We can also help plan a funeral with a casket for your loved one prior to cremation.
What Other Arrangements Can Be Made?
Some families prefer a less traditional memorial service that’s more reflective of their loved one’s personality and character following cremation. A popular preference for many families choosing cremation is scattering their loved one’s ashes in a favourite location. Some families also prefer to honour a cremated loved one by having a memorial service in a less formal setting or venue; opting for a private gathering of friends and loved ones in an outdoor location or right at home; asking friends and family members to donate to a favourite charity of their loved one or arranging for internment in a memorial garden.
