FAQs on the Cremation Process

Our simple process allows you to make arrangements on your terms for direct cremation, when it’s convenient for you. We embrace technology using phone, email, text and conference meetings via Zoom where practical. And, if you have any questions, a member of our experienced team is always available to guide you through the process.

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?

Absolutely! Our fixed price cremation model offers complete transparency. We provide a detailed breakdown of the cremation costs and the payment process upon inquiry, so you know exactly what to expect. You can view our pricing details on our Package page, and our team is available to assist you in understanding 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?

Our sustainable cremation practices offset the carbon generated by our services, demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility and ensuring we leave a better planet for future generations. Learn more about our environmental impact here.

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
