Water cremation for Kingaroy and the South Burnett.
South Burnett · From $2,640 incl GST
The Gentle Way brings water cremation to Kingaroy and the South Burnett, a rural region where families have long had to look to Toowoomba or Brisbane for anything beyond a standard funeral. Our service means South Burnett families can now choose an environmentally gentle farewell without leaving the district behind.
We attend families across Kingaroy, Nanango, Wondai, Murgon, Blackbutt, Proston and Yarraman, including farms and properties well off the main roads. Transfers from Kingaroy Hospital and local aged care residences are arranged 24 hours a day, and our arrangers can handle the whole process remotely for families who cannot easily travel.
Farming families in the South Burnett understand land and water better than anyone. Many tell us that a farewell using water, with no fire and no fuel burnt, simply makes more sense to them — and it costs their family less at the same time.
