When planning a cremation service in Melbourne, you can choose an affordable no-service cremation or a traditional funeral followed by a cremation service.
A no-service or direct cremation allows you and your family to focus on honouring your loved one in a personal and intimate way.
Many families opt for a no-service cremation:
It's private, intimate, respectful and affordable and allows you to celebrate your loved one's life in a unique way.
A traditional funeral with a cremation service allows everyone to gather for a traditional funeral service, with the cremation following the service. This allows everyone to gather to say their farewells during the funeral service. Most people don't attend the cremation itself. However, a private cremation service can be arranged if requested.

Cremation is an alternative to a traditional burial and is a method that's been used for centuries. Cremation works by turning the body into ashes and bone fragments. The body (contained within a coffin) is slid into a furnace that burns with intense heat. The resulting ashes are collected and placed in an urn (or vessels of the family's choosing).
It's important to note variations in the cremation process may occur based on local regulations, cultural or religious practices, or the specific crematorium facility being used.
On average, a typical cremation process can take 1.5 to 3 hours. The duration of cremation varies depending on factors such as the size of the body, the type of cremation equipment used and the protocols of the crematory.
The cost of a cremation service can vary, but cremations typically cost between $800 to $1300 depending on the cremation package you've chosen.
The ashes are placed in an urn or another vessel following a cremation. The deceased family members choose the type of urn to be used, or the deceased may have specific this if they had pre-arranged their funeral. The urn containing the ashes can be kept in various locations, including a cemetery, columbarium, mausoleum, or the family home. Some people choose to create keepsakes or scatter ashes.
