Respectful Cremations
When a loved one has recently passed away, you can choose between a burial service or a cremation at Central Highlands Funeral Services.

At Central Highlands Funeral Services, we know that the stress of arranging a cremation can worsen an already distressing experience.

Why choose a cremation service?
Cost-effective
Depending on where you choose to carry out your cremation service, it can be more affordable than purchasing a large burial plot or a casket. In fact, it can cost up to four times less than the price of a burial.
Environmentally friendly
Burial sites are becoming increasingly crowded every year, which means that the land can’t be used in the future. By choosing a cremation service, your loved one can either be buried in a smaller site or in a family plot.
Simpler service
If you don’t want to organise a complicated or traditional funeral service, you can choose to have a small memorial service at a peaceful location. Here, you can spread your loved one’s ashes at a location of your choice.
