We also know that a funeral is often a very stressful experience for families to deal with, aside from the pain of losing someone they love.
It is not necessary to have an expensive funeral – choosing a more affordable option of a direct cremation is becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons, including:
Significantly more affordable
Eliminates time pressures
Environmentally friendly (use of less resources)
Gives the option of organising a meaningful Memorial Service with the ashes at a later date.
We transfer the deceased person to our premises where we can wash them and dress them in the clothes that you have chosen. We attend to all the necessary paperwork and when this is completed we place them in a simple casket, and take them for cremation.
This is at a cost of $4,730 (inclusive of GST) plus the cost of the Doctors fee. There are extra charges for viewings, mileage over 25kms from State of Grace branch, after hours, public holidays, Sundays and any additional nights in our cool room.
