Families in Doubleview can turn to Greenfields Funerals for straightforward, dignified direct cremations from a trusted, family‑owned local funeral home. Our small, experienced team is here to explain each step clearly, keep pricing transparent and provide genuine personal care, rather than the impersonal experience of a large corporate network.
We serve families in Doubleview and Perth’s western suburbs through Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park or Karrakatta Cemetery, ensuring a smooth, well-coordinated process close to home.
What is a direct cremation?
Direct cremation means the cremation occurs without a traditional funeral service being held first. The person is cared for, transported into our care, and cremated, with ashes returned to the family to organise 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.
Why families in Doubleview choose direct cremation
In Doubleview, more families are selecting direct cremation as it lessens stress and keeps the focus on remembering the person, instead of worrying about logistics.
It typically costs less than a traditional funeral with a chapel service, flowers and catering.
More time to plan a personal memorial or celebration of life that reflects your loved one’s personality, beliefs and culture.
- Flexibility to gather with family and friends at locations that are meaningful in Doubleview and the surrounding area, rather than being tied to a crematorium schedule.

How direct cremations work in Doubleview
We’ve designed the process to be simple and compassionate, with clear support at each stage.
First contact
Call us 24/7 to let us know someone has died or is expected to die soon, and we will explain the next steps in plain language.
Transfer into our care
We arrange the respectful transfer of your loved one into our care from home, hospital, aged care facility or coroner, keeping you updated throughout.
Paperwork and planning
We guide you through the required paperwork and discuss important decisions, such as ash collection and whether you’d like to arrange a memorial service later.
Cremation and return of ashes
The cremation takes place on an agreed timeframe, and ashes are returned to you or a nominated person so you can hold a private farewell, scattering or celebration of life.
Planning a personal farewell after a direct cremation
A direct cremation doesn’t mean “no goodbye”- it simply separates the cremation from the gathering, giving you more time and freedom to create something meaningful.
Plan a personal celebration of life at your home, a local Doubleview venue, a favourite beach, park or anywhere that holds special meaning for your family.
Include readings, music, photos, favourite food or a toast that truly reflects the person you are honouring.
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 is also often chosen when your loved one expressed a wish for “no fuss” or a low‑key 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.
