Direct Cremation

A Simple Option With Care
Direct cremation is the simplest way to say goodbye. We collect and care for your loved one with dignity, and the cremation takes place at a time we arrange. There is no service at the crematorium, no mourners present and no ceremony on the day. Afterwards, the ashes are returned to you, giving you the freedom to remember and celebrate in your own way.

Flexibility and Choice

Choosing direct cremation does not mean giving up choice. With us, you can:
  • Know that the cremation takes place locally
  • Plan your own farewell later, whether that is a quiet family gathering, a memorial service or a personal moment of reflection
We will explain every step clearly and support you in a way that feels right for you.

Things to Consider

Because of its simplicity, direct cremation does not include:
  • A service or gathering at the crematorium
  • A celebrant or minister
  • The opportunity to say goodbye together on the day
Many families find comfort in having a moment to come together, even if it is a small service. If keeping costs manageable is important, we also provide affordable attended options that balance simplicity with the chance to say farewell.
