What Is A Direct Cremation In Perth?
Choosing an unattended cremation (we often refer to as a no service or direct cremation in Perth) is the most affordable and cost effective way to arrange a dignified farewell for a loved one. When someone passes away, their family or next of kin becomes responsible for arranging their transfer into care and ensuring that a lawful cremation takes place. A simple unattended cremation fulfils these essential requirements with dignity, clarity and at a low cost.
This option is very simple, no formal funeral service is held at the time of cremation. Families may then choose to honour their loved one later, in their own time and in a way that feels right for them. Whether a quiet reflection at home, a memorial gathering with close relatives, or a personalised celebration of life at a meaningful location, you have complete freedom without the pressure of time, funeral venues or ceremony costs.
Reasons for selecting an Simple Unattended Cremation for your loved one.
A direct cremation offers:
- The lowest cost cremation option in Perth
- A respectful option to place a loved one at rest without a service
- Flexibility to hold a memorial at any time, in any way
- Calm, clear guidance to enable a simple arrangement
For our Simple Unattended Cremation, once your loved one has been brought into our care and all authorisations completed, they will be transferred directly to the crematorium in a discreet, private funeral transfer vehicle, ensuring dignity while keeping costs as low as possible.
If your family would prefer your loved one’s final journey to be made in our elegant black hearse, this is included in our Premium Unattended Cremation. This premium option provides an elevated level of presentation and formality for families who wish for a more traditional and refined final journey.
Our Commitment To Dignity
At Mayfair Funerals Perth, we believe every life deserves the utmost respect, even in the simplicity of a direct cremation. That's why we never compromise on the dignity of your loved one. You can be assured that we:
- Ensure a dedicated Funeral Director attends to all aspects of the cremation, not general staff or couriers.
