About the company

Sunshine Cremations provides funeral services across the Sunshine Coast, from Pelican Waters to Noosa and Maleny, holding farewells outside a traditional church or chapel setting, including on the beach, in a park, at a surf club, or scattering ashes from a Coast Guard boat. The company provides eco-friendly coffins made from recycled cardboard, rather than materials that release toxins when cremated.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Sunshine Cremations is remembered by the families it has served for the calm, considerate manner of celebrant Anthony Sparks, who is named in nearly every account. Those who dealt with him note that he listened carefully to what was wanted and built the ceremony around it, from a colourful rock and roll farewell to a service arranged during a very short timeframe. His care and professionalism come through strongly, with arrangements described as handled smoothly and updates given clearly at every stage.

The ability to organise much of the planning from a distance is singled out as a real comfort for grieving relatives, while his knowledge is credited with guiding families through decisions under pressure. Several people recall meeting him beforehand to confirm every detail, and he is said to have accepted late changes without fuss. As a speaker he is described as warm and moving, lifting the tone with a touch of gentle humour. What recurs most is his patience, empathy and steady support at an overwhelming time. A number of customers describe his contribution as making a hard day more bearable.

Anthony Spark the fantastic celebrant was from the minute I contacted him, so reassuring at a sad time for me. Anthony was patient, caring and beyond simply the best at what he does. If you are getting married I would highly recommend Anthony he was excellent. If I could give 10 stars I would. Anthony's speech, as great speaker, with a slight humour, heart felt and caring I believe so gracious he was meant to be a celebrant, in all factors wedding or funeral you won't find better. Highly recommended 5 🌟 Darron Maker RIP, would have loved his service you supplied for him. Thank you for being you. Many thanks Julie Evitts

I’m very thankful for the care and professionalism shown by Anthony during such a difficult time. Everything was handled efficiently and with kindness and communication was clear and reassuring throughout. The flexibility to manage arrangements remotely made a big difference and help reduce stress for our family.

Anthony was attentive to our wishes and created a warm and sensitive environment in which to farewell my father. Given a very tight timeliness we were blessed with his knowledge and guidance. I would thoroughly recommend Anthony for those seeking a friendly. compassionate and professional service.

So glad we found Anthony, very efficient and easy to deal with and very upfront about what he covers across the entire process making it all very easy and hassle free. He did a great job MC'ing things also on the day, was super flexible with what we wanted to achieve. Would highly recommend, just what we were looking for.
