What Does a Direct Cremation Cost?
No Fuss No Attendance Cremations, better known as direct cremations at Meighans Funerals start from $3,630.00
Can I Have a Cremation Service In A Church?
The short answer is YES. Funerals of all types have been held in many different locations. The only difference when having a cremation service at a church or any other venue other than the Crematorium means that the hearse will take your loved one from the church to the crematorium (privately) after the church service has completed.
Do Funeral homes charge an after hours transfer fee?
When we think of after hours transfers we think, how can we possibly know when we will die? That’s exactly right. unfortunately these things just happen. But when we do after hours and even during working hours, you’ll notice that we send two experienced funeral directors to take your loved one into our care. This means that those costs associated with after hour are minimal to cover their wages, time & not to forget the specialised vehicle needed to conduct the transfer.
But Other Funeral Homes May Be Cheaper than Meighans?
Sometimes we find that some small funeral homes or just starting out funeral homes may be a touch cheaper than we are. This is one hundred percent true, this can happen. But what we have learnt over the 100 years of serving the Newcastle community is what it actually costs a funeral home to conduct any type of service. The way we look at it is what will keep the funeral home in business and also keep costs down for the families we serve. We have found a very reasonable price that we can conduct every service professionally using the correct equipment and staff. Which begs the question – If we have a price that just keeps us going, is a low cost for families and done with the right equipment. How are funeral homes doing it cheaper and what corners have been cut to offer these services?
