Every family has different preferences when it comes to cremation. Some may wish to hold a funeral service beforehand, while others may prefer a private arrangement or choose to gather together at a later time.
Our funeral directors can talk you through the available options and coordinate the necessary arrangements with care.
- Funeral services followed by cremation
Private Cremation
- Memorial services after cremation
Choosing burial allows families to create a lasting place of remembrance. Meighans can assist with cemetery arrangements, documentation and coordinating the funeral service.
The service can include personal touches that reflect the person being remembered, including photographs, flowers, music, readings and family tributes. Religious and cultural traditions can also be incorporated where appropriate.
Burial arrangements can be coordinated throughout Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and surrounding areas, subject to cemetery availability and requirements.

Direct Cremation
A private & straightforward choice
For families who would prefer not to hold a formal service at the time of cremation, direct cremation provides a simpler alternative.
The arrangements can remain private, while family and friends can decide whether to come together later for a memorial, celebration of life or personal gathering.

A Farewell That Feels Personal
Every family has their own way of remembering someone they love. A funeral may be traditional and formal, or it may be a smaller gathering focused on sharing memories with those closest to them.
Personal details can help make the service a meaningful reflection of their life. Photographs, favourite music, flowers, readings, videos and stories can all be included, along with religious, cultural and family traditions where appropriate.
Our funeral directors can help organise the service and coordinate the details, allowing your family to focus on remembering your loved one.
