What is a direct cremation?
Direct cremation is a cremation that takes place without a formal funeral service beforehand. Your loved one is respectfully cared for, brought into our care and cremated, and their ashes are then returned to the family to arrange a private farewell, memorial or scattering.
There is no chapel service or viewing at the crematorium included in a direct cremation.
Families are free to arrange a separate memorial at home, in a community venue or at any special place that feels right.
Why families in Floreat choose direct cremation

The overall cost is usually lower than a full funeral that includes a chapel, floral tributes and catering.
It gives you more time to create a personal memorial or celebration of life that truly reflects your loved one’s personality, values and culture.

Planning a personal farewell after a direct cremation
Choosing direct cremation doesn’t mean there’s no opportunity to say goodbye – it gives you the time and space to create a personal, meaningful tribute when you’re ready.
Hold a small gathering at home or in a local park, club, beach or community hall in or near Floreat.
Add personal touches like music, readings, photographs, their favourite foods or a heartfelt toast that celebrates who they were.
Is a direct cremation right for your family?
This option works well for families who prefer a straightforward approach, are mindful of funeral costs, or have family members living far apart who need flexibility with timing. 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.
