Cremation Services for Parkdale Families

A cremation choice to suit every family and budget

Cremation is something many Parkdale families choose. Hold a service at St Augustine’s or another local church first, plan a memorial later, or choose a private cremation.

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

  • Cremation after a funeral service
  • Private cremation, then a memorial service
  • No-service direct cremation
  • Ashes brought back to your family with care

Burial Services Near Parkdale

Arranging burials across Kingston and the south-east for Parkdale families

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

Cemeteries where we arrange burials include:

Direct Cremation in Parkdale

A lower-cost option with no formal service

The simplest choice of all is direct cremation. It means no service, no viewing and no procession. Your loved one is privately cremated, with the ashes returned to you afterwards.

Some Parkdale families choose it so they can plan a relaxed gathering later, at home, at a local club or along the Parkdale foreshore.
