Water cremation for Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
Darling Downs · From $2,640 incl GST
The Gentle Way brings water cremation to Toowoomba and the Darling Downs — a farming region that understands land, water and stewardship better than most. For families whose lives have been shaped by the soil, a farewell that returns to water rather than fire often feels far more fitting than flame cremation.
We care for families in Toowoomba city and across the Downs, including Highfields, Crows Nest, Oakey, Pittsworth, Dalby, Warwick and the Lockyer Valley. Transfers are arranged from Toowoomba Hospital, St Vincent's, St Andrew's and rural aged care facilities, with our team contactable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Distance is never a barrier. We regularly travel to properties and small towns well beyond Toowoomba, and we will always be upfront about any transfer fee before you commit to anything. Toowoomba families receive the urn back, along with the certainty that the process used no gas or diesel fuel at all.
Where we travel
Not on the list? We travel well beyond these towns. Call us on 1300 464 368 and we'll tell you exactly what we can do and what it costs.
