At Simple Price-Wise Cremations we care about your wishes, including those personal touches which can make such a difference. That is why we are pleased to offer you the flexibility of choice.

For example, if you already have some idea of the service you require, you can select from one of several funeral packages we have designed.

Alternatively, if you are unsure of the type of service you want, but are still keen to financially protect your loved ones then we can offer you the choice of investing in a funeral bond, an investment product specifically designed to help meet funeral expenses.

To help you in deciding which option best suits your needs we have set out below a series of questions and answers that highlight some of the differences between funeral planning options, including funeral insurance.

Barry from Nollamara


Simple Price-Wise Cremations have conducted two cremation services for my family.

On both occasions I found them to be professional, very courteous, efficient and caring.

They prepared and presented a lovely memorial pictorial presentation. I would have no hesitation in recommending SPW Cremations.
