How direct cremation works

crem
crem

Transfer and care of your loved one

Funeral Directors collect and transfer your loved one and transport them to an approved mortuary and help you plan the cremation. They work with doctors to complete all the necessary paperwork.

Carry out the cremation

Funeral Directors organise all the paperwork and carry out a direct cremation without a funeral service. So you can spend more time planning a memorial with your family.

Arrange collection of the ashes

Funeral Directors arrange for the collection of your loved one’s ashes. You can then arrange your own memorial service before keeping or scattering the ashes.

Note: At FuneralSmart, we believe everyone deserves fair and transparent funeral prices. We also understand that cost is important, but quality matters more.

With FuneralSmart you get peace of mind knowing that we collaborate with a network of trusted independent funeral home partners who share our commitment to our fair funeral promise, quality, integrity, and compassion. Together, we ensure every farewell is handled with care and precision—because cutting corners is never an option. Join us today and let us help you navigate your options.
