Funeral service Direct cremation

Cremation and funeral facilities near North Canberra

Funeral Services can be held at Norwood Park Crematorium Chapel or at Gungahlin Cemetery and Crematorium Chapel. The two crematoriums are located opposite each other on the same road, with on-site chapels, allowing family and friends to gather and say goodbye in one place without travelling between venues.

For families choosing a Direct Cremation, the cremation takes place privately. Private viewings can be booked separately, please discuss this with your funeral director for further details. See our pricing page for details. Ash interment and memorial options are available in Gungahlin, or a memorial or gathering can be held at a later date and at a different venue.
