FAQ

    With The Simple Cremation option, there is no opportunity to view your loved one. If however, you wish to include a viewing the Small Gathering or Family & Friends options may be more suited to you.
  • When will I receive the death certificate?
    The death certificate is registered online on the day following the cremation and lodged with Births, Deaths and Marriages. It then takes 5-10 working days to be prepared and is posted direct to the Next of Kin as stated on the arrangement form.
  • Can we have catering?
    With the Simple Cremation, catering is not included. However, if you would like to have catering, then a Family and Friends option may be more suited to you.

    One of our funeral directors will contact you once the ashes are ready to be collected. The ashes may be available two to three business days following the cremation.

    The flowers get cremated along with the casket, however if you wish to keep the flowers, your funeral director will make sure these are given to you prior.
