A range to suit every family

From classic timber and ceramic urns to modern and nature-inspired designs, we hold a considered range in the funeral home so you can see and hold options in person before deciding.

Keepsakes & shared ashes

Smaller keepsake urns and share urns let several family members each keep a portion of the ashes — a gentle option when everyone wants somewhere to remember them.

Engraving & personal touches

Many of our urns can be engraved with a name, dates or a short message, and we’re happy to help you choose something that truly reflects their life.

Choosing the right size

A standard adult urn holds the ashes from one cremation, while keepsake urns hold a small portion. Water cremation can return a slightly larger volume of ashes than flame cremation, so we always check that the urn you choose is the right size.

Scattering, burial or a columbarium

Ashes can be kept at home, scattered somewhere meaningful, buried in a family plot, or placed in a council columbarium wall. Mackay Regional Council has columbarium walls at Mount Bassett, Walkerston, Marian, Mirani West and Sarina cemeteries, and Whitsunday Regional Council at Proserpine and Bowen. We arrange the council paperwork for you.

Biodegradable urns for sea or garden

If you plan to return ashes to the sea or the earth, a biodegradable urn breaks down gently in water or soil — a natural fit for families choosing water cremation and a scattering off the Mackay or Whitsunday coast.
