Australia’s most affordable direct cremation.
Light prides ourselves on being one of Australia’s most affordable direct cremations, with no hidden costs and no upfront payments - ever.
Incredible care, without the price tag.
Why did we start Light?
We experienced first hand just how expensive and confusing arranging a funeral can be. We didn’t like that you had to visit a funeral home, and be sold expensive funeral services that were overpriced, pre-packaged and rushed. So, we fixed it.
We're making funerals human, transparent and personal - as they should always have been.
No funeral parlours
We don’t have the overheads of brick-and-mortar funeral parlours, meaning we can pass on the savings and offer our services for less than many other funeral directors.
No upsells
We don’t sell caskets or offer funerals, which means you never have to worry about being upsold to a service that’s not what you’re after.
Direct cremation specialists
We specialise in direct cremations, and direct cremations only. This means we’ve been able to put our time and effort into perfecting this process to make it as simple, and cost effective, as possible.
We focus on exceptional customer service at an affordable price. With no hidden fees. Ever.
A more affordable way to say goodbye.
Australian’s needed a more affordable way to say goodbye. That’s why we created Light — a simple, affordable cremation-only service with no hidden fees and no unnecessary extras. Just the care you need, when you need it.
Everything can be arranged from home, and our team is here 24/7 to support you every step of the way.
Compassionate, high-quality care — made more accessible.
Looking for a prepaid cremation instead?
Light doesn't offer prepaid cremations, but our friends at Bare can help you put a prepaid plan in place with ease.

Our prices vary depending on location due to transport costs and local service fees. In some states, such as Western Australia, cremation fees are significantly higher than in others. Our pricing reflects the actual cost of providing care in each area. You can get a quote tailored to your loved one's location here.
Our cremation-only arrangement includes respectful transport of your loved one, professional mortuary care, the cremation service itself including an eco coffin, assistance with registering the death, ordering the official death certificate, and a simple urn for the ashes.
