Your dedicated funeral arranger will work with you to plan the perfect service for your loved one, tailored to you and your family's needs.

Do you only offer cremation?

Yes. At Willed, our core mission is to make end of life planning simple, affordable and accessible for all Australians. Cremation in combination with a memorial service is a more affordable option, and gives families more time to plan a memorial service that suits them and their loved one.

What's the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?

This is a very common question. In Australia, a service is the most common way to farewell a loved one. The key difference between a funeral and a memorial service is the presence of the deceased.

⁠At most funerals the deceased's body is present, in either a closed casket or an open casket. In contrast, the deceased's body is not usually present at memorial service. This is because memorial services are typically held in the days, weeks or even months after cremation.

Can I preplan a funeral service?

Yes. We work with many families who find themselves caring for a loved one who is approaching the end of their life. In these situations, it can be comforting to know that everything is prepared, saving you time and stress, when the time does eventually come.

Some people, for whom death is imminent, find participating in the planning process to be quite empowering. Our caring and compassionate team also supports many bereaved families, arranging the cremation and memorial only once their loved one has passed.

What happens to my loved one after I call Willed?

Once you let us know your loved one has passed, your dedicated arranger will coordinate the collection and transfer of your person into the care of our accredited partner mortuary facility. Our team will usually arrive within two hours of your call, depending on where your loved one has passed. Once at the mortuary facility, they will be respectfully prepared for cremation.

At the same time, your dedicated arranger will coordinate the memorial service you have planned together.

To start the planning process, you can call our funeral arrangers on 1300 945 533.
