Why Choose a Full Service Cremation?
A full service cremation offers families the opportunity to gather, honour a loved one's life and say goodbye in a meaningful and personal way before the cremation takes place. Combining a personalised funeral service with a dignified cremation, it allows family and friends to celebrate cherished memories, reflect on a life well lived and support one another during a difficult time.
​
Unlike a direct cremation, a full service cremation includes a formal ceremony where family and friends can come together to share stories, listen to meaningful music, view photographs and videos, read poems or prayers, and pay tribute in a way that truly reflects the person being remembered. Every funeral service can be tailored to celebrate an individual's personality, beliefs, culture, traditions and passions.
​
Many families choose a full service cremation because it provides an important opportunity for healing. Coming together to acknowledge a person's life, express grief and receive the support of family and friends can be a valuable step in the grieving process. It also allows those who may not have had the chance to say goodbye privately to farewell their loved one in a shared and supportive environment.
​
At Solace Family Funerals, we believe every life deserves to be remembered in a way that is as unique as the person themselves. Whether you choose a chapel service, church service or another meaningful venue on the Gold Coast, we'll help create a personalised funeral service that honours your loved one's story with compassion, dignity and genuine care.
If you would like additional private time before the ceremony, we also offer Family Viewings, giving close family and friends the opportunity to spend quiet, personal time with their loved one before the funeral service begins.
Family care you can trust
Planning a funeral is one of the most emotional experiences a family can face. At Solace Family Funerals, our role is simple—to take the stress away by guiding you through every step with compassion, experience and genuine care, while taking care of every detail on your behalf.
​
Unlike some larger funeral providers that operate primarily as call centres and coordinate services through partner funeral homes, when you contact Solace Family Funerals you'll speak directly with the caring local team who will be looking after your loved one. We're a genuine family-owned funeral home on the Gold Coast with our own premises, and we're with you from the very first phone call through to the day of the funeral and beyond.
​
From bringing your loved one into our care, to arranging the service, coordinating the celebrant or clergy, booking the chapel or venue, organising flowers, music, printing, live streaming, cemetery or crematorium requirements and every detail in between, we manage the entire process for you. You won't need to worry about coordinating multiple suppliers or wondering if something has been overlooked—we take care of it all.
​
Every funeral we arrange is thoughtfully planned to reflect the unique life being celebrated. Whether you envision a traditional funeral service, a contemporary celebration of life or a deeply personal farewell, we'll work alongside your family to create a service that honours your loved one's story with dignity, warmth and respect.
​
Throughout the journey, you'll have the reassurance of dealing with the same caring team who know your family, understand your wishes and are always available to answer your questions. Our goal is to remove as much stress as possible, allowing you to spend your time where it matters most—with the people you love, remembering the person you've lost.
​
When you choose Solace Family Funerals, you're choosing genuine family care, personal service and the confidence that every detail is being handled with professionalism, compassion and the highest level of respect.

The hardest part is making the first call, but we guarantee once you do it is the first step to relieving the pressure. We will provide guidance and support; and obtain all the information required for the cremation service of your loved one.
If your loved one passes at home, hospice or a nursing home our response will be immediate. If they pass in a hospital with mortuary facilities or are under a coronial investigation we may need to wait until any necessary paperwork is completed for a cremation service. If you aren't in attendance we will let you know when your loved one is in our care.
After receiving all the paperwork information we will make a time to meet with you - either at home or in our office - wherever you are most comfortable. During this time we will ask for photos and gather elements for the service. During this time we will get to know your loved one and your family, and work through the details for the cremation service.
We will send you an e-invitation to forward to guests with the funeral details to relieve you of the need to make individual calls, complete all necessary paperwork, obtain a doctors or coroners permission to proceed with the cremation, and make all necessary venue bookings.
The Death Certificate is lodged by us to the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages on the day of the service and cremation. This information is gathered from the details you provide on our arrangement form. You will need to allow approximately 3 weeks from the day of cremation for the Death Certificate to arrive. This will be sent directly to you from the Registry in the mail.
Once we have the ashes back in our office we will contact you to arrange a time to collect. It is usually a good idea if you are wanting an urn or cremation jewellery to let us know prior to your attendance, so that we have your loved ones ashes in your chosen urn.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a full service cremation include with a funeral director
At Solace Family Funerals, a full service cremation on the Gold Coast is about far more than logistics — it’s about honouring a life with care, dignity and meaning.
​
Your funeral director will personally guide you through every step, including bringing your loved one into our care, preparing them respectfully, arranging the coffin, coordinating the chapel or chosen venue, organising a celebrant, music and tributes, and overseeing the cremation itself.
​
As a local Gold Coast funeral home, we take care of all paperwork and planning, so your family can focus on remembering, supporting one another, and celebrating a life well lived.
​
How much does a full service cremation cost on the Gold Coast?
The cost of a full service cremation on the Gold Coast can vary depending on the venue, personal touches, and inclusions you choose.
​
Most cremation services on the Gold Coast range between $4,000 and $7,000. What matters most is understanding what is included. Some funeral homes advertise lower prices but add fees later for transfers, after-hours care, or essential service items.
​
At Solace, we believe in clear, upfront pricing and genuine value — so families can make informed decisions without pressure or hidden surprises.
​
What is the difference between direct cremation and full service cremation in Gold Coast Funerals?
A direct cremation on the Gold Coast is a simple, unattended cremation without a formal funeral service. It is often chosen for its affordability and flexibility, allowing families to hold a private memorial later.
​
A full service cremation, however, provides the opportunity for family and friends to gather, share stories, hear music that mattered, and say goodbye together before cremation takes place.
​
If having that moment of togetherness feels important to you, a full service cremation offers space for reflection, gratitude and connection — something many families find deeply healing.
​

Absolutely.
​
Every life is different, and every farewell should be too. As experienced funeral directors on the Gold Coast, we work closely with families to create a service that truly reflects your loved one.
