A full-service cremation is where the family has chosen to hold a full funeral service before the cremation takes place. This funeral service can be held on-site at a crematorium chapel or off-site at our Springwood Chapel, your home or a family church followed by a cremation at a crematorium.
With full-service cremation funerals, we would have you meet with one of our Funeral Directors either at our Funeral Home in Springwood or a place where you feel comfortable, e.g. your home. In this meeting, we will ask what ceremonial, religious and traditional needs you would like incorporated as you say goodbye to your loved one. We will listen to your needs, make suggestions and ensure that everything is accurately recorded. Things to be recorded include things such as venues, ministers, celebrants, flowers, coffins, hearses, music, powerpoint type data projection, live streaming, butterfly or pigeon releases, the list goes on.

There are also multiple government documents that need to be completed in order to carry out the cremation. We will guide you through those forms and ensure that everything is in order. It is always handy to have the deceased’s passport, birth certificate or any other form of identification as a way to verify the information recorded on the documents. From these and other questions we will also gather the Death Certificate registration questions. These meetings typically take anywhere between 40-60 minutes and vary depending on the needs of the family.
We also understand that things change. We want you to know that this is fine and happens frequently. The most important thing to us is that you are happy with how this important final farewell goes. What’s most important to us is that you feel comfortable with the decisions made.
A no-service cremation is where the deceased is taken directly to the crematorium without any funeral or family gatherings. In these cases the family have usually been instructed to keep things simple and minimise the cost of the funeral by their deceased loved one before their passing. We take the same approach in these cases and will do all of the arrangements via the phone and emails.
These no-service or direct cremation services include the collection of your loved one from the place of death, the simple washing and feature setting preparation and dressing of their body and finally the placement of your loved one in a simple low cost cremation coffin.
Once this preparation is complete the no-service cremation is booked with the crematorium and we then transfer your loved one into the care of the crematorium. The cremation process takes around three to five hours and the ashes are made available for the family to collect within 24 to 48 hours. The death is then registered with the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages and the Death Certificate is sent to the family within 5 to 10 days.
Although this service does not include a formal funeral service, many families choose to have a memorial ceremony or service of their own once the ashes have been collected.
If you are leaning more towards taking this simple cremation without a funeral, we recommend that you talk it through with family before making the final decision. Whilst there is nothing to say that a traditional funeral service is required or necessary in saying farewell to a loved one. We suggest that you take the necessary time to decide if a no-service cremation is the right for your family.

We were so pleased with the wonderful caring service we received from Ross and his family at Heaven Funerals. Nothing we asked for was too much for Ross and his excellent team. Ross assisted us in this difficult process, every step of the way. You don’t realize what is involved in organizing a funeral until you find yourself in that situation, as we did with the recent and unexpected passing of my father. Their combination of caring for our needs in a sensitive way and their expertise, made this a happy experience as we celebrated the wonderful life of my dear dad. I highly recommend Ross and his team for their professional funeral services.
On behalf of the Kaleopa family, we would like to give our sincere and heartfelt enormous gratitude for your genuine loving, caring, sensitivity, respectfulness, supportiveness and willingness to cater to our needs for our father’s funeral Veletalo’ola Notoa Samuelu Kaleopa. We would be honoured to highly recommend your business to others and delivering such high quality of service, it makes such a burden experience become so much bearable. We extend our love and gratitude to your family Ross and Lee and gladly adopt you as being part of our family. Love and blessing always xoxoxo
