Real experiences, real feedback

From the moment I contacted Earth Direct, their compassionate staff handled every detail with sensitivity and professionalism. Their respectful treatment of my husband brought me great comfort. I'm grateful for the care they provided and highly recommend Earth Direct to anyone in need of their services.

After reaching out I had one of the most heart warming and caring conversations with Kevin Hartley who went to enormous lengths to design for us a funeral that respected everything mum and I stood for. The relief for me was beyond words, at the end of the day I found enormous peace in mum's passing knowing everything was being done for the right reasons and in the right way.
Forever thankful

How do I make arrangements online?

You can make arrangements easily. Simply contact us by phone or email and one of our experienced staff will guide you through the necessary steps to plan a farewell. If you would prefer a face to face experience we can organise a zoom call as well.

What is the process for transportation and care of the deceased?

After confirming all necessary documentation is in order, we use custom vehicles to transfer the deceased from their place of passing to modern (refrigerated) mortuary accommodation.

Can I get a breakdown of the costs and payment process?

Our transparent pricing includes all necessary services. You can view our pricing details on our website, and our team is available to assist you to understand the costs and payment options.

How are the ashes returned to me?

Unless you have a specific request which can be discussed during the arrangement process, once the cremation process is complete, we will arrange for the return of the ashes to you either by secure courier or direct delivery.

What is the carbon impact of the cremation process?

All cremation services use fossil fuel and generate atmospheric carbon emissions. Fees charged by traditional service providers do not cover the environmental cost. Our eco-friendly approach results in a carbon-positive outcome, contributing positively to the environment. Learn more about our environmental impact here.
