Cremations Services

At Childers Woodgate Funeral Services, we understand how important it is to honour your loved one’s life in a meaningful way. If cremation is your choice, our team handles every service with compassion, dignity, and care. We take pride in adding personal touches to ensure that each cremation service is memorable, celebrating and commemorating your loved one’s life.

We offer a variety of cremation services to meet your needs:

• Direct Cremation – A non-attended, simple cremation without a formal service.
• Chapel Service with Cremation – A meaningful farewell in a chapel before cremation.
• Church Service with Cremation – For those wishing for a traditional church service prior to cremation.
• Alternative Venue with Cremation – For families preferring a more personal or unique location.

While we do not have our own crematorium, we work closely with reputable crematoriums in the district to ensure seamless service.
