How does this compare to cheap internet-based alternatives?
If you search around on the internet you'll find a huge range of options for No-service 'Direct' Cremations. Some of the 'big brand' funeral companies charge significant fees for such a simple service. However recent years have seen many internet-based Direct Cremation providers emerge. Here are six important ways our No-Service Direct Cremation Package compares to the cheap internet alternatives:
​
1. Personal Funeral Director Meeting
Most cheap cremation services expect you to complete all the required documentation online. We all know it's easier said than done! We provide a face-to-face meeting with one of our funeral professionals to help complete all the documents and answer your questions. We're here to support you throughout the process.
​
2. Full Mortuary Care
Saving money on funeral costs shouldn't mean settling for lower quality care. Our professional mortuary staff will ensure your loved one is prepared to take their 'final journey' clean, dignified, and looking peaceful. We don't cut corners behind the scenes. We want everyone to have the best care possible.
​
3. Viewing Option Included
While you're not planning on having a formal funeral, some people find the chance to farewell their loved one face-to-face is meaningful, and moving. It's included in the package. We offer this option at our main facility in Geebung, on Brisbane's northside. However, it is sometimes possible to organise for the viewing to take place closer to you.
​
4. Dedicated Transfer Services
In some cases, cheap cremation services outsource their transportation services. This means that staff who handle your loved one may not even work for the company you've called! When we say we take care of your loved one, WE take care of them! We only use third-party transfer services when performing long-distance transfers. **
​
5. Death Certificate Included
Some cheap cremation providers don't include a copy of the formal QLD Death Certificate in their price. Our package includes one original Death Certificate and four certified photocopies of the original for estate purposes - and we can get more copies certified if you need it.
​
6. No Upfront Payments or Deposits
​Sometimes you don't have money immediately available to spend on a direct cremation service. Some budget direct cremation providers expect you to pay upfront before they will proceed to the cremation. We never expect upfront payments, and will only send a 30-day invoice to you after the cremation is complete. However, if you want to you can prepay this package, you can!
