The Basics of Simple Cremation
G’day! Let’s dive into something profoundly simple yet meaningful – the straightforward process of a simple cremation. Many Aussies choose this as a farewell for themselves or a loved one. It offers a respectful, dignified, and fuss-free way to say goodbye. No pomp or extravagant ceremonies, just a simple, heartfelt farewell.
Now, you might ask, “What exactly is a simple cremation?” At its core, it’s a cremation service stripped of complex ceremonies or elaborate arrangements. It’s a way to ensure your loved one is remembered without the frills that often come with traditional funerals.
What’s Involved in a Simple Cremation?
Picture this: a compassionate process that saves you the added stress during an already heavy time. It typically begins with initial contact, either via phone or online. This approach makes life a little easier – no need to venture out while emotions are running high. In Melbourne, for instance, this service can be set in motion with just a phone call.
The process includes transportation of the deceased to a facility for cremation and the handling of necessary paperwork. There’s a bit of a back and forth with legalities, forms, and approvals, but nothing you can’t manage with some guidance.
Then, there’s the actual cremation. This part is conducted with utmost respect, complete with licensed professionals who treat your loved one with the same care they would afford their own family.

Considerations and Options
While simple cremation isn’t heavy on ceremony, remember you can still hold a private memorial or gathering. This gives ample space for memories, tales, and the odd laugh over tea or a barbie with loved ones. After all, sending someone off doesn’t have to be grim.
Another consideration is the choice of urn or memorial placement. And yes, these little boxes can actually be quite elegant. Some folks even opt for scatterings at meaningful locations. Who’d have thought a last trip to a favourite beach could be so poetic?
Personal Touches During Difficult Times
When Jack, my neighbour, passed on, his family wanted something simple. The man was downright practical – no fuss, just appreciation for life’s little joys. They chose a simple cremation, with a family BBQ a few weeks later as a memorial. It was intimate, personal, and just what Jack would’ve fancied – perhaps with fewer sausages, but that’s a story for another day.
It’s okay to have a sense of humour about things. Funerals are already heavy enough. A simple cremation reflects this balance, keeping it about fond farewells without all the solemnity.
