Funeral directors serving Araluen, NT

No Northern Territory funeral director publishes a direct cremation package price on its own website, so this site does not print a figure. A cremation with a service or a burial costs substantially more, and this site publishes no Northern Territory figure for those because too few providers publish a package total. Compare the directors listed on this page to see current pricing for Araluen.

1 funeral director has an address within 100km of Araluen. Directors travel to the families they serve, so the list is not limited to businesses inside Araluen itself.

Cremation reduces the body to ashes through high heat, returned to the family in an urn. Burial places the body in a coffin in a cemetery plot. Cremation is generally less expensive, because a burial also carries the cemetery's plot and interment fees, which the Australian Seniors Cost of Death Report 2023 put at an average of $11,039 for a burial against $8,045 for a cremation. Cremation also offers more flexibility around the timing and location of any memorial service.

No. In every Australian state and territory, families have the legal right to arrange a funeral without engaging a funeral director. Most families choose to use a director because the practical work (transport, paperwork, coordinating with the cemetery or crematorium) is significant, and a director handles it. If you are considering arranging a funeral yourself, contact your state's Births Deaths and Marriages office for the required paperwork.
