Our caring team offers honest guidance, clear pricing and personal support at every stage, without the pressure or confusion that can come with large corporate providers.
As part of Perth’s western suburbs, Daglish families benefit from close proximity to Karrakatta Cemetery, which simplifies the process for relatives in the surrounding community.
What is a direct cremation?
Direct cremation is a simple form of cremation carried out without a formal funeral service beforehand. We take your loved one into our care, provide professional care and arrange the cremation, before returning the ashes so your family can plan a private gathering, memorial or scattering.
No viewing or service at the crematorium as part of the package.
Families can hold a separate memorial at home, a community venue or a special place that has meaning.

Is a direct cremation right for your family?
Direct cremation can be a good choice if you prefer simplicity, are working within a budget, or your family is spread across different locations and needs time to come together. It’s also a popular choice when someone has expressed a preference for a low‑key, unpretentious farewell.
If you’d prefer a traditional funeral with a chapel service and formal ceremony, that’s absolutely an option too, and we’re here to talk through what would work best for your family.
