Greenfields Funerals provides dignified, straightforward direct cremations in Innaloo, delivered by a local, family‑owned funeral home that always puts your family’s needs first. 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.
We serve families in Innaloo and Perth’s western suburbs through 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 are free to arrange a separate memorial at home, in a community venue or at any special place that feels right.
Why families in Innaloo choose direct cremation
Many families in Innaloo are choosing direct cremation because it reduces stress and keeps the focus on what matters most: remembering the person, not managing logistics.
It typically costs less than a traditional funeral with a chapel service, flowers and catering.
You have extra time to organise a meaningful memorial or celebration of life that honours your loved one’s character, beliefs and heritage.
- Freedom to celebrate your loved one’s life at home, a local park in Innaloo, or any venue that feels right for your family.

How direct cremations work in Innaloo
The process is designed to be as straightforward and gentle as possible, with guidance at every step.
First contact
Reach out to our team 24/7 when someone has passed or is nearing the end of life, and we’ll walk you through the next steps without jargon or confusion.
Transfer into our care
Our experienced team coordinates the transfer from wherever your loved one is—home, hospital, nursing home or coroner—and we keep you informed every step of the way.
Paperwork and planning
We help you complete all required forms and discuss any choices, such as who will collect the ashes and whether you plan a later memorial.
Cremation and return of ashes
The cremation is scheduled at a time that works for you, and ashes are returned so your family can plan a personal farewell, scattering or memorial gathering.
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.
Arrange an intimate memorial at home, a nearby park, community venue, or any meaningful location in Innaloo or the surrounding area.
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.
