Direct Cremation in Northern Sydney

A Simple, Private Affair

When a loved one passes, it can be a traumatic experience—one that can be made all the more stressful when also having to arrange and attend the funeral ceremony. However, for those looking to avoid the stress and emotional burden of arranging and witnessing the cremation process in person, a direct cremation can be a suitable alternative.

At A Better Way Funerals, I understand that everyone’s situation is unique and so I strive to offer a service tailored to meet the individual needs of the bereaved. My simple direct cremation packages are designed to provide a respectful, dignified experience without unnecessary fuss or expense.

Located in Balgowlah, I arrange direct cremations, traditional cremations, burials, life tributes, prepaid funerals and more. My services are available throughout Northern Sydney and beyond, including Manly, Mona Vale, Frenchs Forest, Mosman, Hornsby, Chatswood, St Leonards and Greenwich.

DIRECT CREMATION–NO SERVICE NO ATTENDANTS Price & Information Guide $3,200+gst

A Direct Cremation offers a gentle and cost-effective way to honour a departed loved one. It entails the respectful cremation of their body shortly after passing, without the customary funeral service or a gathering of attendees. Many families are embracing this choice, enabling them to plan a commemorative gathering for the cherished family member at a later date, with the option of having the ashes present or not. This choice gained considerable traction during the recent challenges posed by the Covid restrictions, and it remains a popular alternative. Families find solace in the flexibility it affords, alleviating the typical burdens associated with arranging a traditional funeral.
