Crematorium Funeral Service

The crematorium chapel funeral in Brisbane is now the most popular type of funeral service. Each crematorium has a chapel that can be used for the funeral service if you wish, and the cost of the chapel hire and cremation averages around the $1,000.00 mark.

Crematoriums usually hold funerals on the hour and a half time slots (e.g. 10:00am, 11:30am, 1.00pm and so on) and funeral directors work on the principal of 9:30am, 11:00am, 12.30pm and so on, so bookings can be tight with large amount of content and many speakers. Over the years, the facilities at these venues have improved, and now feature the capability to play Photo presentations, have Live Streaming and music for the family and friends who attend the funeral. 

The preferred total time for the funeral service is 45 minutes, as there are usually other funeral services taking place. The funeral director needs time before and after the funeral to put into place the wishes of the family, check music or photo presentations , and collect coffin flowers , floral tributes, and other items after the funeral so it’s clear for the next family. If you think you need more time, you can book two chapel times at a small cost.

There are a number of crematoria available in Brisbane and the decision to choose cremation can come down to religious beliefs, cost, or even the way the funeral will be conducted.

Most funeral directors will ask at the outset whether you’ve chosen a cremation or burial

to clarify the direction the funeral service will take and identify the associated documents required.

Live Streaming

Most crematoria in Brisbane have the capability to live stream the funeral service.

To view a funeral you must obtain the link via the Family concerned or from the Funeral Director.

Cremation Urns

Crematoriums will supply a 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.


Use this link to see urns that are available.

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.

Cremation Process

Cremation is the act of transforming someone’s mortal remains from the physical form into ashes or cremated remains. Crematoriums use a machine called a transformer for the actual cremation process.


The myth that you don't get the cremated remains of the person who is cremated is false, as the machine can only take one cremation at a time. Each cremation is allocated a number, and the nameplate from the coffin is removed, following the cremated remains from start to finish. Crematoriums go to great lengths to maintain their standards and transparency, so you can rest assured you’ll receive the actual cremated remains in the Cremation urn of your loved one.

When a cremation takes place, crematoriums in Brisbane will supply a basic plastic urn to hold the cremated remains. If you’re intending to scatter the cremated remains in bushland, in the ocean or somewhere else, then you won’t need to buy another container unless you’re going to keep a portion of the ashes.


The cremation urn is about the size of a shoe box and with the ashes inside, it weighs approximately 3.5kg. There are no laws dictating what you must do with the cremated remains once you have them in your possession. Within reason, you can scatter the ashes in a public place such as the beach or on a golf course but it would pay to be discrete.

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.
