Comparing Direct Cremation Providers in Perth
If you're comparing direct cremation prices, you're doing exactly what the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) encourages. Not all quotes include the same things, and headline prices don't always tell the full story. The ACCC's funeral pricing guide recommends comparing itemised quotes rather than headline prices.
Six Questions to Ask Any Provider
Is the quoted price the final price?
Ask whether crematorium fees, the coffin or capsule, and all legal paperwork are included — or added on top.
Does the price change by location?
Some providers charge different prices depending on your suburb. Ask whether the quoted price applies to your specific location.
Who actually provides the service?
Some brands outsource collection, mortuary care, or cremation to third parties. Ask whether the provider's own staff will care for your loved one.
Do they have a facility you can visit?
Some providers operate entirely by phone with no physical premises in WA. Check before committing if face-to-face matters to you.
Who owns the business?
Several well-known WA funeral brands are owned by interstate or international corporations. A local name doesn't always mean local ownership.
Can you choose your crematorium?
Some providers only offer cremation at a crematorium of their choosing. Confirm your preferred facility is included in the quoted price.
How Greenfields Measures Up
$4,260 is the complete price. Crematorium fees, capsule, all paperwork, and collection within 40km are included. No additions unless you specifically need after-hours collection or extra distance.
Same price, every postcode. Whether you're in Rockingham, Joondalup, Perth CBD, Mandurah, or Bunbury — the price is $4,260.
One person, start to finish. The funeral director you first speak with stays with you through the entire process. No handoffs, no repeating yourself, no call centres.
Our own staff, our own facility. Your loved one is cared for by Greenfields staff in our Port Kennedy or Bunbury mortuary. We don't outsource to third parties.
Two physical locations you can visit. Port Kennedy (4/13 Fielden Way) and Bunbury (105 Spencer Street). You're welcome to meet us before making any decisions.
Family-owned. WA-based. Not part of a corporate group, not owned by interstate investors, and not a brand name licensed from someone else.
You choose the crematorium. Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo, Rockingham, or Bunbury — the choice is yours, included in the price.
Your Rights When Arranging a Funeral
The ACCC provides consumer guidance on funeral pricing. You have the right to an itemised written quote before agreeing to any arrangement. Funeral directors must comply with the WA Fair Trading Funeral Pricing Code of Practice. You are not obligated to use any particular provider and can compare quotes from multiple funeral directors. We encourage you to compare our pricing with any other provider.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cremation Costs
How much does cremation cost in Perth?
Cremation in Perth at Greenfields Funerals ranges from $4,260 for direct cremation (no service) to $6,950 for a simple funeral service with cremation, or $9,950 for a complete traditional funeral service with all inclusions. All prices include GST. There are no hidden costs.
Is $4,260 the cheapest direct cremation in Perth?
No — and we don't claim to be the cheapest. Some providers offer lower prices, and some charge significantly more. What we offer is a genuinely all-inclusive price from a family-owned funeral home with two physical facilities in WA, where your loved one is cared for by our own staff. We believe that's the right balance of affordability and quality.
Why do direct cremation prices vary so much in Perth?
Prices vary based on what's included, the provider's business model, and overheads. Some low-cost providers operate without a physical facility, which keeps costs down but means no face-to-face support. Some larger providers charge premium prices that include corporate overheads and brand licensing fees. We sit in the middle — genuine simplicity with real facilities and local staff, but without the corporate overhead that inflates pricing.
What is the difference between direct cremation and traditional cremation?
Direct cremation ($4,260) has no funeral service or viewing before cremation — it's a simple, private process where your loved one is cremated without ceremony. Traditional cremation includes a chapel service, viewing arrangements, hearse transport, and full funeral director coordination, starting from $6,950. Both receive identical professional care and dignity.
Do you charge different prices depending on where I live?
No. Our direct cremation price is $4,260 regardless of your suburb. The only location-related cost is a mileage charge of $3.50 per km if the collection point is more than 40km from the Perth metropolitan area. For Bunbury and Southwest families, the same $4,260 price applies from our Bunbury facility.
Do cremation prices vary by crematorium location?
No. Our pricing is the same whether you choose Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo, Rockingham, Bunbury, or Mandurah. The crematorium fees are built into our pricing, so you pay one transparent price regardless of location. Choose the crematorium most convenient for your family and guests — the cost is identical.
Are there hidden fees in cremation costs?
At Greenfields Funerals, all costs are clearly itemised upfront. The only additional costs are optional services you choose (flowers, newspaper notices, decorative urns) or third-party fees (doctor's certificates, out-of-hours transfers, weekend cremations) which we disclose at cost. Every quote we provide shows exactly what you're paying for and why.
Why does the Complete service cost $3,100 more than the Simple service?
The Complete service ($9,950) includes several premium upgrades over the Simple service: premium coffin upgrade ($800–1,200), celebrant ($650), flowers allowance ($400), urn allowance ($250), doctor's fees allowance ($110), and professional livestreaming ($495). These additions total approximately $2,700–3,100 in value. The Complete package removes decision fatigue by including these popular options in one transparent price.
Can I still hold a memorial after a direct cremation?
Absolutely — and most families do. A memorial can be held at any time, in any location, with no time pressure. Many families wait weeks or months and hold a celebration of life at home, in a park, at a beach, a church, or a hired venue. You can have the ashes present if you wish.

Are you part of a corporate funeral group?
No. Greenfields Funerals is independently owned and operated by a Western Australian family. We are not part of any national or international funeral group. The people who own the business are the same people who care for your loved one.
How do Greenfields cremation prices compare to other Perth funeral homes?
Our cremation pricing is typically lower than corporate funeral chains. We achieve this through local family ownership (no corporate overhead), transparent pricing (no hidden markups), and direct relationships with crematoriums. Many Perth funeral homes don't publish pricing online — we do because we're confident our prices are fair and competitive. We encourage families to compare itemised quotes from multiple providers.
Can I prepay for cremation at these prices?
Yes, you can prepay for cremation at today's prices through our prepaid funeral plans. Funds are held in a regulated WA funeral bond, protecting you against future price increases. Direct cremation prepaid is $4,555, simple funeral is $7,245, and complete funeral is $10,345 (includes a $395 administration fee) — locked in no matter when you pass. Learn more about prepaid funerals →
What payment methods do you accept for cremation services?
We accept cash, credit card, bank transfer, and direct debit. Payment is typically required before the cremation service. For families experiencing financial hardship, we can discuss payment plan options on a case-by-case basis. We believe no family should be denied a dignified cremation due to financial circumstances.
What happens if I can't afford cremation?
We understand financial hardship is real. Options include: Direct cremation at $4,260 is our most affordable option and receives full professional care. You may also apply for the WA Government Bereavement Assistance if eligible, or discuss payment plans with us directly. We never turn away families in genuine need — contact us to discuss your situation confidentially.
