Cremation in Moorabbin

Flexible cremation to match your family’s needs and budget

Moorabbin families often choose cremation because it suits both large and small farewells. Hold a full funeral first, plan a memorial later, or keep it private with a simple cremation.

The paperwork, permits and crematorium arrangements are all handled by your Gateway funeral director, and makes sure your loved one’s ashes come back to you with care.

  • A funeral service, then cremation
  • A private cremation with a memorial afterwards
  • A direct cremation, without formalities
  • The ashes returned to you with care

Burial Services in Moorabbin

Graveside burials across Kingston and the south-east for families in Moorabbin

For families who prefer burial, we organise everything with the cemetery, from securing the plot or family grave through to coordinating the graveside service. We are also happy to include flowers, music, readings and any cultural or religious customs you would like to honour.

Some of the cemeteries we arrange burials at:

Moorabbin Direct Cremation

An affordable alternative with no formal service

The simplest choice of all is direct cremation. It involves no service, viewing or procession. Your loved one is cremated privately before the ashes are returned to your family.

Some Moorabbin families prefer it because it is what their loved one asked for. Others hold a gathering later at home, at a local sporting club or at a favourite café.

Unique, Personal Farewells in Moorabbin & Kingston

Gateway Funerals hearse in Moorabbin

No two people are the same, and neither should their funerals be. Together we shape a service around your loved one, bringing in the music they loved, photos and stories from family, and a celebrant or minister in keeping with their beliefs.

Services can be held at churches like Leighmoor Uniting, at a memorial park chapel, in our Chelsea Heights chapel, or at a venue near home.
