Melbourne’s cheapest funeral package includes all the items listed above and this is called our Basic Cremation Package. We offer this package for families that wish to have a private unattended cremation, and may wish to hold a memorial service at a later stage with close family and friends, with the ashes present in an urn.
Our basic cremation package is often chosen if a family has very limited funds, as this still provides a dignified goodbye for your loved one. Basic funeral costs can vary depending on the funeral director that you choose, at Simply Beautiful Funerals we can provide you with a quote for Basic Funeral Costs, however we can also cater for any optional extras that you may wish to include with a basic funeral package. This may include a viewing of your loved one, which family members may find necessary for the grieving process, or if they have not seen their loved one for a certain period of time. Other options may include the use of fresh flowers instead of silk flowers, if you feel that this would be a nice way to provide a final loving tribute to your loved one.
