Arranging a Brisbane Cremation

There are numerous decisions which must be made when planning for a loved one’s funeral. These decisions are challenging and emotionally charged at the best of times, especially when dealing with the grief of losing a loved one.

Using a funeral arranger can help ease the stress associated with organising a loved one’s final farewell. Willed’s warm and knowledgeable funeral arrangers can help take much of the stress out of the planning process.

2. The deceased’s written instructions regarding cremation should be followed by their legal representative if that representative is aware of the instructions.
3. The cremation authority has the right to bury unclaimed ashes after one year has passed.
4. Cremated remains may be divided between interested parties and disposed of in different ways.
