Do It Yourself Funerals
It is possible to organise a funeral yourself without using a funeral director providing you obtain a Single Funeral Permit and comply with the relevant State requirements. By obtaining a Single Funeral Permit you become the “Funeral Director” and it is your responsibility to arrange all permits and applications as well as all other matters associated with the funeral.
Although a do it yourself ’ funeral can be a complex undertaking, it can also be very rewarding. Some people find it helps them come to terms with the death of a loved one. It can also be significantly cheaper than using a funeral director.
