View fees & inclusionsUnderstanding this option
A meaningful gathering in your own time
A memorial service can take place after a direct cremation, giving the family more flexibility when choosing the date, time and location.
Because the coffin or casket is not present, families may choose the Goulburn Chapel or another venue that reflects their loved one’s life.
The service can be personalised with stories, music, photographs, flowers and other tributes selected by the family.
