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.
