Immediate Assistance | Plan Ahead

Cremation Services

Flexible options to suit your wishes

Cremation can be arranged in several ways, depending on what feels appropriate for your family.

Some families choose a funeral service before the cremation, while others prefer a private arrangement or a memorial gathering at another time. We can explain the different options and assist with organising the necessary arrangements.

  • Funeral services followed by cremation

  • Private Cremation

  • Memorial services after cremation

Traditional Burials

Arrangements throughout Broadmeadow

For families choosing burial, Meighans can assist with cemetery arrangements, documentation and coordination of the funeral service.

A burial can be personalised in many ways, including meaningful music, flowers, photographs, readings and tributes. We can also help accommodate religious and cultural traditions where specific customs are important to your family.

Burials can be arranged at cemeteries and memorial parks throughout Newcastle and surrounding areas, subject to availability and cemetery requirements.

  • Whitebridge Cemetery

  • Minmi Cemetery

  • Wallsend Cemetery

  • Sandgate Cemetery

  • Stockton Cemetery

  • Belmont Cemetery

Direct Cremation

A simple and private option

For families who do not wish to hold a formal funeral service at the time of cremation, direct cremation provides a straightforward alternative.

The arrangements can take place privately, allowing families to decide later how they would like to remember their loved one. A memorial service, family gathering or celebration of life can be held at a later time if desired.

Honouring Their Life and Memory

A funeral does not need to follow a particular format. The service can be shaped around the person being remembered, their life and the people who knew and loved them.

Our funeral directors can help incorporate personal details such as photographs, music, flowers, readings, videos and stories. Religious, cultural and family traditions can also be included where they are meaningful to those arranging the funeral.

Whether you are planning a quiet farewell or a larger gathering, we can help bring the arrangements together with care and respect.
