What are the differences between burial and cremation in Australia?

So the main difference is burial is where you're interred in a cemetery plot, and that's usually something that the family has pre-purchased. It's either a family grave that is being reopened or a new grave that the family has purchased before we've organised the burial. Cremation is where the body is cremated and the ashes are returned to you in a standard PVC cremation container, a decorative urn or another type of urn chosen with your funeral director. Once you have your loved one's ashes back after a service, you're free to decide what you'd like to do with them. You can decant them into a decorative urn, a keepsake urn or a scattering urn. You can talk about these options with your funeral director and us here at Willed Funerals.
