All you need to know about direct cremation in Sydney
A direct cremation is an affordable and often speedy method of cremation. It comes without the frills. It is a non-attended cremation that does not include an accompanying funeral ceremony.
The cremation happens without a viewing and fits into the schedule of the funeral home. Timing is often quick, and the cremation is performed when it is beneficial to the facility.
At Blessed Funerals, we take as much care of the person as we would for a more traditional funeral service. At all of our four facilities – Baulkham Hills, Brookvale, Five Dock and Wollongong – we handle each direct cremation with the utmost integrity and compassion and maintain open and transparent dialogue with the family at all times.
What are the advantages of a direct cremation?
The primary advantage to direct cremation is cost. A direct cremation is approximately one third of the cost of a traditional funeral. With the skyrocketing cost of living striking many families, opting for a direct cremation is an economic decision. Although it is a cheaper alternative, it that does not mean that Blessed Funerals compromises on care.
Many families opt for a direct cremation service to allow more time for families to grieve and to arrange a funeral service without the normal time constraints and rush. For many families, this is a much better option.
A direct cremation assists families with relatives and friends living overseas or interstate. It gives these families greater flexibility to prepare travel arrangements, venues and other considerations. By having a direct cremation, a memorial service can be conducted when it is more suitable for the family.
