Jolimont is situated in Perth’s inner western suburbs, with Karrakatta Cemetery providing cremation services for families throughout the local area and surrounding suburbs.
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.
This option does not include a viewing or formal service at the crematorium.
Families can hold a separate memorial at home, a community venue or a special place that has meaning.
Why families in Jolimont choose direct cremation
In Jolimont, more families are selecting direct cremation as it lessens stress and keeps the focus on remembering the person, instead of worrying about logistics.
Lower overall cost than a traditional funeral with chapel, flowers 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.
- Freedom to celebrate your loved one’s life at home, a local park in Jolimont, or any venue that feels right for your family.

How direct cremations work in Jolimont
We’ve designed the process to be simple and compassionate, with clear support at each stage.
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
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 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.
Plan a personal celebration of life at your home, a local Jolimont venue, a favourite beach, park or anywhere that holds special meaning for your family.
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?
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.
That said, if a formal chapel service with a coffin present is what you envision, a traditional funeral might be a better fit—our team is happy to discuss all options with no pressure.
