Cremation is an increasingly popular option for those who wish to be buried, but what about those who don’t want a funeral service? Can you get cremated without a funeral service? The answer is yes.
A cremation-only service is called a ‘Direct Cremation’.
Cremation urns are available in various sizes and styles, and you can choose to have your ashes scattered or keep them in an urn.
At Anton Brown Funerals, we offer a wide range of services and will work with you to create a customised plan that meets your budget and ensures that your loved one is treated respectfully.
But first, let’s recap what a cremation is…
What is a cremation?
Cremation is an ancient practice involving extreme heat to reduce a deceased person’s body to ashes.
There are several reasons why a person may decide to be cremated as opposed to being buried, such as:
- their environmental stance,
- their desire for a more affordable farewell, or
- their religious beliefs.
We cover more detail about what cremation is in our blog here.

Cremation Brisbane
Anton Brown Funerals has a long history helping families decide the best type of funeral. In some instances, a cremation without a service is a more affordable farewell and more casual than a traditional burial. It also allows for more flexibility regarding the final disposition of the remains.
It can give the family more time to plan a personalised farewell or memorial which can be held at a special location where the deceased wanted their ashes scattered, or on a later date when more friends and family can attend.
