Frequently Asked Questions
How much will this cost?
We give you complete pricing on your first call. Our pricing starts from $3,020 for a simple direct cremation. Most families spend between $6,000 and $12,000. Kathryn will work within your budget to create the most meaningful farewell possible.
I've never done this before. Where do I start?
Most of our families haven’t either. Just call Kathryn. She’ll guide you through everything, step by step, at your pace.
Can we have the service somewhere meaningful?
Absolutely – we hold funerals in churches, at crematorium chapels, in cemeteries and also less conventional locations like surf clubs, the family home and beside Pittwater.
What if we want something simple/don't want a service?
That’s completely fine. Some families prefer a simple, private farewell. We can arrange a direct cremation from $3,020 with no service, or help you plan a memorial gathering for later. Your choice is always respected.
What if I need help after hours?
Kathryn provides direct support when you need it, not when it’s convenient. We’ve helped families with Centrelink paperwork at 6pm on Fridays because that’s when they needed us.
You don't have to
navigate this alone
Whether you need immediate help or are planning ahead, Kathryn is here to guide you with honest answers, clear information, and genuine care.
