Water cremation in Ipswich
The Gentle Way provides water cremation to Ipswich families and the wider West Moreton region. Ipswich is one of Queensland's oldest cities and one of its fastest growing, and families here have told us clearly that they want end-of-life options that are both affordable and environmentally responsible.
Caring for Ipswich families, 24 hours a day
Our funeral directors service Ipswich central, Springfield, Ripley, Goodna, Redbank Plains and the rural communities out through Rosewood, Marburg, Lowood and the Brisbane Valley. We arrange transfers from Ipswich Hospital, St Andrew's Ipswich Private and aged care residences across the region, 24 hours a day.
Lower funeral costs in Ipswich
For Ipswich families, cost is often the deciding factor. Our direct water cremation removes the need for a coffin, a hearse procession and a chapel booking, bringing the total well below a conventional Ipswich funeral while keeping the care and the paperwork entirely in professional hands.
