An unattended cremation in Perth refers to a cremation process where there is no formal gathering or ceremony before the cremation occurs. This type of cremation is typically chosen by families or individuals who prefer a more private or simple approach, and it involves no attendance at the cremation facility by family or friends.
The process generally works like this:
- Preparation: The deceased person is collected by Direct Cremations and taken to the crematorium.
- Cremation: The cremation itself is performed without any family or friends present.
- Return of Ashes: Once the cremation has happened, the ashes are returned to the family after 72 hours.
Unattended cremations can be an option when families prefer to have a service later, or simply wish to avoid the emotional aspect of attending the cremation itself. It can be a more affordable option due to the lack of a formal service or ceremony, and it also offers flexibility in terms of when and how the family may wish to memorialise their loved one afterward.
It’s important to note that while this type of cremation doesn’t include a formal ceremony at the time of cremation, it doesn’t preclude the possibility of holding a memorial or celebration of life event at a later time.
