Cremation Urns
Crematoriums will supply a Government standard basic plastic urn, and this is fine if you are scattering the cremated remains. We have access to a large selection of cremation urns, and if you wish, Tony Hollands Funerals can supply a brochure of urns that you can select and purchase at affordable prices.
With cremation urns, you can choose any design or shape that you like to reflect your loved one’s personality. People usually assume they must use a specific cremation urn supplied by a crematorium, but any solid container that you deem appropriate will be suitable.
If you are told by a crematorium that you cannot collect the cremated remains until you have purchased an urn, this is not true.
Brisbane Cremation Services: Your Questions Answered with Care
Understanding the Cremation Process
Cremation transforms your loved one’s physical remains into ashes using specialised equipment at licensed crematoriums. It’s a dignified process that many families choose for practical, environmental, or personal reasons.
You Will Receive Your Loved One’s Ashes
One of the biggest concerns families have is whether they’ll receive the right cremated remains. You absolutely will. Brisbane crematoriums operate with strict protocols, only one cremation occurs at a time, each is assigned a unique identification number, and your loved one’s nameplate follows them throughout the entire process. These facilities maintain the highest standards of care and transparency, so you can trust you’ll receive exactly what you expect.
What Happens After Cremation
Your Basic Cremation Urn
Brisbane crematoriums provide a standard plastic urn (about shoebox-sized, weighing approximately 3.5kg with ashes) at no extra cost. This is perfectly suitable if you’re planning to scatter the ashes or prefer a simple container.
Your Choices Are Completely Yours
Once you have your loved ones cremated remains, there are no legal restrictions on what you do with them. Many families choose to scatter ashes at meaningful places like beaches, parks, or golf courses, just be respectful and discrete. Others keep them in a special urn, divided them among family members, or create memorial jewellery.
Questions about cremation options? Our compassionate team can guide you through every aspect of the process, helping you make the choice that feels right for your family.
Cremations Act
Cremation is controlled by the Cremations Act, which means you’ll need to answer questions, such as whether it was the wish of the deceased to be cremated.
Other questions will include if they had written directions to this effect and if the person poses a cremation risk due to the presence of a radioactive implant or a cardiac pacemaker.

Radioactive implants can emit radioactive material into the atmosphere during the cremation process, which is harmful for the environment and the staff of the crematorium. Cardiac pacemakers have a battery that will explode, damaging the cremator and potentially harming the crematorium staff. If the person does have one of these devices, it will be removed by a mortuary technician who is highly trained in this process.
When we arrive at the crematorium, the crematorium staff will check all the relevant documents, and when there are no issues, the person can be cremated. The average cremation takes about an hour, and after a cooling period, the remains are processed into fine grains and placed into the receiving urn.
