Direct Cremation
What is a Direct Cremation?
A direct cremation, sometimes called a simple cremation, is a funeral without a service to attend. This allows you to say goodbye in your own time, in a way that feels most personal to you and your loved one.
We will care for your loved one with dignity at one of our Chapels of Rest, before taking them to a local crematorium of our choice by private ambulance. While this option does not include visiting your loved one at one of our Chapels of Rest or attending the cremation, you can be assured they will receive the highest standard of care throughout.
Direct Cremation Costs: £1,495
Direct cremation is a more affordable option for arranging your loved one's funeral. The cost includes the coffin and third-party crematorium fees, with no additional charges.
