At A Better Way Funerals, we help with Cremations on the Northern Beaches of Sydney

Cremation on the Northern Beaches can be the preferred choice of final resting for many reasons—from cultural and religious reasons to environmental considerations and alleviating the burden of cost. When carried out compassionately and professionally, cremation can provide a dignified farewell that respects the wishes of both the departed and the bereaved. Our cremations are held at Macquarie Park Crematorium and we use low impact cremators.


Keri from A Better Way Funerals is passionate about providing a level of care and attention that matches the significance of the situation. I strive to provide a service tailored to meet the individual needs of each family, ensuring that every detail is attended to with sensitivity.


Located in Balgowlah, I offer cremation packages, direct cremations, burials, life tributes, prepaid funerals and more. My services are available throughout the Northern Beaches.

What do my Cremation Services include?

Cremation is a thoughtful and respectful choice for the final disposition of your family member’s remains. During the cremation process, your loved one will be treated with the utmost care and respect.

You have the option to arrange a
funeral service either in conjunction with the cremation, before it takes place, or afterwards. Additionally, I can assist in coordinating a memorial service at a location of your choosing. This provides an opportunity for you and other family members to come together, pay your respects and remember your loved one.

Afterwards, you can choose to keep the urn containing your family member’s ashes in a special place at home, scatter the ashes in a meaningful location that holds significance to them, or place them in a peaceful cemetery or memorial garden. This way, you can create a lasting tribute that honours your family member’s life in a way that feels most meaningful and comforting to you and your family.

Comforting, Genuine and Kind

Review Star Icon

I’m not sure I can fully express the depth of my gratitude to Keri and her team at Better Way Funerals. From the moment my beautiful mum passed away, Keri guided us with compassion, care and a level of kindness that was both comforting and genuine. I cannot recommend Better Way Funerals highly enough.
