Direct Cremation Options in Keysborough

An affordable choice without a formal service

If you want the simplest choice, direct cremation is it. It does not include a service, a viewing or a procession. The cremation takes place privately, and your loved one’s ashes are returned to you.

Some Keysborough families choose it so they can gather later on their own terms, at home, at Resurrection Parish or in Tirhatuan Park.
