Sydney Cremations
Cremations Sydney: If you are planning a funeral in Sydney, cremations are a less complex and more cost-effective option
Traditionally, Sydney burials were the common way to farewell a loved one in Australia. Today, however, cremations have nearly doubled in number compared to burials and are considered the most popular funeral option in Sydney and New South Wales in 2025.
Cremations’ increasing popularity can be attributed to several factors, with the main ones being cost, availability, and the growing distance to burial sites around Sydney.
At Victoria Cross Funerals with the guidance of your funeral support manager we allow you to fully customise all aspects of the cremation funeral service, so that you are comfortable with all aspects of your loved ones requests and their final send off.
Furthermore, there are varying services available for cremations including Direct Cremation Funerals which are quicker, no fuss cremations which many families and individuals prefer.
To make it easier for you, your Furneral Support Manager will help you through the documentation and legal requirements to ensure the process is stress-free at this difficult time.

For your peace of mind, we have carefully selected a professional, clean, modern, and easily accessible cremation facility in Sydney. To ensure careful identification and safety of your recently departed, a nameplate will remain with the deceased at all times throughout the cremation process. The cremation itself can take 1-2 hours, and the ashes will be ready to be returned to the family within 2-3 business days.
We have live-streaming services for family and friends who cannot attend because of distances in Sydney or because they live elsewhere. The family may wish to have a memorial after the service and cremation. A funeral service can be held before cremation to celebrate and remember the deceased.
