An Intemate Farewell
Personal Service
A Sunrise Attended Cremation is a beautiful hybrid service, created for families who prefer the simplicity of a direct cremation but feel the need to be present to say a final goodbye. It allows a small group of family or friends to gather briefly at the crematorium for a quiet, private moment of reflection before the cremation takes place.
This service provides a gentle, unhurried space to share a few words, play a special piece of music, or simply be together in tribute. It offers the closure of attendance without the structure and expense of a traditional funeral, giving you a meaningful yet straightforward way to honour your loved one.

Arranging the Service
We will coordinate with you to schedule a time for the service, typically between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. at a local crematorium. You can choose a special piece of music to be played as you gather in the chapel.
Return of the Ashes
After the cremation, we will prepare the ashes in a simple container and arrange for their personal, hand-delivery back to you, ensuring continuity of care until the very end.
