Cremation Funerals in a Church ~All Religions~
Funerals in a church can be a symbol of your faith and devotion.
we welcome all religions and can offer a religious funeral service with a priest, minister or pastor of your choosing at your preferred church, or we can locate the best suitable location and clergy. we manage all the bookings and lias with the church and clergy, on your behalf.
After your service has taken place, you can organise to attend the committal service (must be booked in prior with us) or you can conclude the service entirely at the church, and we will organise your loved one’s private cremation.
Witness of insertion can also be booked, for those religious beliefs and practices that desire this.

Cremation FAQs
How long does cremation take?
The cremation itself takes about two to three hours. But from the time of passing to getting the ashes back, it's usually five to ten business days, allowing for paperwork, medical certificates, and crematorium scheduling. If you need something faster for religious or cultural reasons, let us know and we'll do what we can.
Can we have a viewing before cremation?
Yes. A lot of families choose to see their loved one before the cremation, and we'd encourage it if it feels right for you. We have our own mortuary in Penrith where viewings can be arranged by appointment. Family members are welcome to help with dressing if they'd like to.
What happens to the ashes?
After the cremation, the ashes are returned to your family in an urn or temporary container. From there, it's up to you. Some families keep them at home. Some scatter them at a place that mattered to their loved one. Others choose interment at a memorial garden or cemetery. We can provide urns and cremation jewellery, and talk through scattering or interment options.
Can we hold a service at the crematorium?
Yes. Most crematoriums have their own chapels where a funeral service can be held before the cremation - it's one of the most common choices. We handle all the bookings with the crematorium and can help you plan the service: celebrant, music, slideshow, order of service booklets, all of it.
How much does a cremation cost?
It depends on the type of service. A direct cremation with no ceremony is the most affordable. A cremation with a chapel or church service costs more, depending on the venue and what's included.
