We know that the period after a loved one passes away can be one of the most challenging times in your life. That is why the Bay Cremation Care team is here to help you through the entire process. Our team guarantees that our caring, qualified professional funeral directors will look after you and your loved one throughout the funeral, burial or cremation.

What Does A Funeral Director Do?

A funeral director plays an essential role in helping you create a special final farewell to honour your loved one’s life. Essentially, they are responsible for guiding and assisting you through the entire process of organising a funeral, burial or cremation and helping ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
 
It can be very hard to make clear decisions when you’re grieving, and trying to handle the complications involved with organising a funeral can worsen your existing stress. That’s where a skilled funeral director can play an important part in helping you put together the right send-off for your loved one.
Your first meeting with your funeral director will often take place very soon after your loved one has died. Your funeral director will be able to assist you from the very beginning of the process, right from the transfer of your loved one from their place of death through to the burial or cremation. They arrange everything to do with the funeral service itself, prepare and casket the body and even assist you with legal details.

What Our Funeral Directors
Can Help You With

The team here at Bay Cremation Care is here to help you during this difficult time. There is an extensive range of services our qualified funeral directors offer to help you create the proper send-off for your loved one, including:
  • Registering the death with the Department of Internal Affairs

From the moment we contacted Alistair at Bay Cremation Care we felt fully confident we had chosen the perfect person to help us plan the funeral. Alistair was compassionate, caring and knowledgeable and took us through every step of the way. He gave us time to make important decisions and gave us guidance as we needed it. He has our highest recommendation and thanks for making a very difficult situation a little easier.

Alistair was very helpful, respectful and professional, and guided us through everything we needed. He was a great help during a difficult time, and helped ensure a smooth and easy process for us. The venue we were at was lovely, and he was happy to arrange anything extra we needed such as flowers, catering, a celebrant etc, but there was no pressure. Would absolutely recommend Bay Cremation Care.

From the quick and helpful correspondence at just the enquiry stage, to the unexpected urgency in need for their services and all the supportive and informative communication from the beginning to end the experience and care was outstanding. At such a vulnerable and emotional time the care from Alistair and the team at Bay Cremation Care made the experience such a positive and easy one. Thank you.

If you are looking for a caring and compassionate person who is going to look after your loved one with dignity and respect then Alistair is the one. With the death of our mother, Alistair was highly professional knowledgeable, patient and considerate. We felt like we were meeting with a friend who had known our family for years.
When the time comes I can only hope I have somebody like him looking after me my brother has already booked him
Would highly recommend.
