There are different ways a cremation can be arranged, depending on what is right for your family. Some families choose to hold a funeral service before the cremation, while others prefer a private arrangement or a memorial at a later time.
Our experienced team can explain the choices available and coordinate the necessary arrangements.
- Funeral services followed by cremation
Private Cremation
- Memorial services after cremation
Meighans can assist families choosing burial with cemetery arrangements, documentation and coordination of the funeral service.
A burial can be shaped around the life and wishes of the person being remembered, with options to include photographs, flowers, music, readings and personal tributes. Religious and cultural traditions can also be incorporated where important to your family.
Burial arrangements can be coordinated throughout Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and surrounding areas, subject to cemetery availability and requirements.

Direct Cremation
A simpler approach
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.

Creating a Meaningful Farewell
A funeral does not need to follow one particular format. Families may choose a traditional service, a small gathering or something more personal that reflects the life and character of their loved one.
Memories can be shared through photographs, music, flowers, readings, videos and stories, while religious, cultural and family traditions can be included where they hold significance.
Our funeral directors can assist with bringing the different elements together and coordinating the service, giving your family time to focus on remembering someone special.
