Direct Cremation

A direct cremation simply involves taking the deceased directly to the crematorium with no formal ceremony.

Loved ones are then free to organise a ceremony or memorial at a time, location and date that suits them.

There are no family or friends present at the cremation and the deceased is cremated in a simple coffin.

There is no traditional funeral service.
There is no embalming.
There is one visit to our chapel of rest, if required, within office hours.

A direct cremation may be cheaper but not at the expense of our care and service to you.

Its perfect for those wishing to remember their loved one in their own way. Its a way to avoid costs for services that you feel
are not appropriate for you and your family.

As most of the paperwork is carried out on-line we can pass on savings in administration to you.
