February 26, 2013 - Ridleyton, SA, Australia - traditional family and corporate owned funeral directors - Sensible Funerals - offers dignified and sensible cremation services at a very affordable price, just about a third of the ongoing price.

Sensible Funerals was founded on the philosophy that a funeral does not have to be elaborate and cost a fortune for it to be dignified and respectable. And we have to admit that paying for excessive funerals is not an option for most families nor it is the staple of a decent memorial service but rather the opposite.

Thus Sensible Funerals offers a simple and respectful cremation funeral service conducted by one of their funeral celebrants followed by refreshments in the adjoining lounge.

Their cremation package is offered at a fixed price of $2,975.00 and includes the following:

- 24/7 availability to receive initial call and enquiry
- Transfer of deceased into our care during business hours from Monday to Friday at 8:30am to 4:30pm
- Meet you either at our office or in your home to complete necessary paperwork and to confirm all details
- Care and preparation of the deceased
- "Voyager " coffin with the option of velvet pall or timber outer shell (rosewood or white)
- Silk flowers for the coffin
- Our celebrant to conduct the funeral service in our chapel
- A broad library of music available for your selection
- Viewing prior to funeral service
- Cremation fees
- Application for death certificate
- Funeral notice
- Refreshments - tea, coffee and biscuits in out lounge
- Simple memorial book

Essential care or a simple cremation with no funeral service and only family members to attend the viewing in our chapel is also available at $1,900. This package is designed for families who prefer an intimate and less complicated funeral.


"Some of us do not want to display our grief to others and would prefer to be surrounded by people closest to us for comfort or solace. And cremation can help us avoid the pomp and the circumstance usually associated with a burial," said Sensible Funerals.
