A burial places your loved one in a chosen gravesite, while cremation transforms their remains into ashes. Both options offer meaningful ways to honour their life and reflect personal, cultural or family preferences.

Burial and cremation services in Hobart
We offer a full range of burial and cremation services across Hobart, helping you plan a farewell that honours your loved one’s life, culture and personal wishes.
Burials
A burial places your loved one in a chosen gravesite. Your funeral director will help arrange the coffin, select or organise the plot and coordinate all necessary service details.
Graveside services
A graveside service can be the entire funeral or held after a church or chapel service, offering a personal and meaningful farewell in a setting that feels right for your family.
Cremations
Cremation is a common choice. Families may choose to memorialise the ashes in a dedicated place or scatter them somewhere significant that reflects their loved one’s life and wishes.
Memorial services
Pending permission from the landowner or local council, a memorial can be placed in a park, garden or family area, creating a lasting and comforting place to visit, reflect and honour your loved one across generations.
You don’t need to decide alone. We’ll explain each option, answer your questions and help you choose what feels most authentic and comforting for your family’s values and your loved one’s wishes.
You can incorporate music, readings, cultural traditions, personal items or symbolic moments to create a ceremony that genuinely reflects your loved one’s story, no matter which option you choose.
We’ll guide you through each step at a pace that feels manageable, helping you make thoughtful decisions when you’re ready.
We work with cemeteries, crematoriums and memorial locations across Hobart and can help you choose a setting that aligns with your preferences, traditions and your loved one’s wishes.
After the service, you may choose a memorial site, scatter ashes somewhere meaningful or organise an ongoing remembrance. We’ll support you through these decisions and help you find what feels right.
