A modern alternative to a traditional funeral
Arrange a Direct Cremation with us for £1,345
A simple, dignified cremation without the ceremony and costs associated with traditional funerals. Our most affordable type of service, popular with customers who don’t want the fuss and expense of a traditional service.
With a direct cremation friends and family gain the freedom to arrange their own personal memorial, separate to the cremation; this allows you to say goodbye exactly when and how you choose. It’s a modern alternative to the traditional funeral and increasingly growing in popularity. We have been offering these since 2007, probably before even the term was phrased.
