A simple cremation service, at an affordable, fixed price.
Light is one of the country’s most affordable direct cremation providers. No hidden fees, no upfront payment. Just a simple, transparent price, without any compromise on service.
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.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
With no hidden fees, ever.
We provide a simple cremation service, which you can arrange from the comfort of your own home, at one of the lowest prices in Australia.

Frequently asked questions
There are three key reasons we’re so affordable - and none of them involve you receiving anything less than 5-star service.

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.
2. We can’t upsell you anything - as we don’t sell anything else
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.
3. We specialise in direct cremations, and direct cremations only
Because we’ve focused on a single service, it means we’ve been able to put our time and effort into perfecting the process. What this means for you is we’ve been able to find the most cost effective ways to streamline the process, without ever compromising on care.
