Water cremation in Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is one of the most environmentally conscious communities in Queensland, so it is no surprise that Sunshine Coast families have been among the first to ask for water cremation. The Gentle Way answers that call with a farewell that produces less than 10% of the carbon emissions of flame cremation — fitting for a region that lives so closely with its beaches, waterways and national parks.
Caring for Sunshine Coast families, 24 hours a day
We care for families the length of the coast, from Caloundra and Kawana through Maroochydore, Coolum and Noosa, and inland to Maleny, Nambour and the Blackall Range. Our funeral directors are available around the clock for transfers from Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Buderim Private, aged care residences and private homes.
Lower funeral costs in Sunshine Coast
Many Sunshine Coast families choose to hold a memorial at a beach, headland or hinterland reserve that mattered to their loved one, and receive the urn afterwards. We are glad to work around that — the service is yours to shape, and we simply make the farewell itself as gentle as possible.
