Water cremation in Gold Coast
The Gentle Way offers water cremation on the Gold Coast for families who want a farewell that reflects a life lived close to the ocean. Rather than the high temperatures and emissions of flame cremation, our process uses water, gentle movement and a small amount of alkali at low temperature — no fire at any stage, and nothing harmful released into the Gold Coast air.
Caring for Gold Coast families, 24 hours a day
We attend families from Coolangatta and Tweed in the south, through Burleigh, Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise, up to Coomera, Ormeau and the northern corridor, and west into the hinterland around Nerang, Mudgeeraba and Tamborine. Transfers from Gold Coast University Hospital, Robina, Pindara and John Flynn are arranged at any hour of the day or night.
Lower funeral costs in Gold Coast
Gold Coast funerals can be among the most expensive in Queensland. Because we do not require a coffin or casket, we remove one of the single largest costs of a traditional funeral, letting Gold Coast families direct their money toward the memorial that matters to them instead.
