Afterlife Funerals conduct both direct cremation and attending cremation services in Sydney, so you can choose whether the occasion can be the opportunity to say goodbye for you, your family and your friends - or if you would like to say it in private with our dignified direct cremation service.
A direct cremation is a cremation without a viewing service or any attending people. A direct cremation in Sydney usually occurs within 1 or 2 days from the family giving consent and completing the required paperwork. The process is very simple and allows the family to have the remains back sooner. This option is very popular for families wishing to repatriate their loved ones ashes back to another country.
While there is no funeral and just cremation, many individuals exercise their creativity to hold incredibly meaningful ceremonies.
Your departed may have wished to be scattered in the ocean or another gorgeous place that they loved. Our direct cremation in Sydney and surrounding areas allows you to have some financial flexibility to lay your loved one to rest. You can then choose to scatter ashes in a close-knitted intimate memorial service if you decide.
We also handle full attending cremation services. At Afterlife Funerals, attending cremation funeral services are usually conducted by a celebrant or clergy. We provide funeral attendants to take care of the proceedings of the event and assist in any way possible. Some inclusions are fresh flowers, and a personalised signature book to keep the thoughts of the ones that loved them, with your family forever.
A cremation funeral service can hold a lot of significance for your family as well as other attendees, by offering a last chance to see the body before your loved one is laid to rest. Seeing the body of the deceased can help many make their last words as well as better find closure with the death, to be able to later move on.
Planning a service and answering questions about topics you have no knowledge about can be stressful, during what is already a difficult time. Our directors will help you make the important decisions you need with their knowledge and experience in the industry. We want you to be able to remember your departed with others who loved them, knowing everything has been taken care of.
Afterlife Funerals has a strict no upsell policy. We plan our packaging to give our families what is needed for each style of funeral and have several no added cost alternatives on selected products. If you however choose to upgrade a service, you can rest assured our pricing is at cost or contains only a small handling fee.

Start to Finish Cremation Services in Sydney
We have designed our three packages for cremation services in Sydney at Afterlife Funerals to help individuals and families plan for how to lay their loved one to rest in an already hard and hectic time.
In addition to these services, our funeral parlour also has working relationships with different crematoriums and memorial gardens. Additionally, with our understanding of working with local councils for approval, we can help guide you in scattering or committing the ashes of your loved one if it helps bring your family or your loved one peace.
Crematoriums and memorial gardens often have flowing streams and rivers, flower and roses gardens, fountains, parks and immaculate architecture that you can commit the ashes to. In these gardens, family often choose a pillar, a place in a wall, or a stone or slanted headstone plaque to place the name and date of birth and date of passing of their loved one. They also provide quiet and lovely areas of retreat that help the visiting family and loved ones find privacy and solace in their grieving.
At Afterlife Funerals, you can ask your funeral director for any guidance you may require in finding a spot to commit the ashes of your loved one. We can also help provide assistance in gaining approval from local councils to scatter the ash remains of your departed in a public place like at a national park or at sea.
You may not have that much information on cremation although it may be what your loved one has requested, and that is okay. We have created a resource to provide you with more information on cremation services; preparing you with what you can expect as well giving you some guidance in creating a unique and meaningful ceremony.
Some friends and families choose to take away the ashes in an urn or split them between different members to remain in their individual homes. Knowing that they are always close may help you move on with your life, and through this time not feel alone.
Our funeral directors are always gentle and compassionate. We know that in this time, sincerity and understanding can go a long way.
