The Unattended Direct Cremation

The Unattended Direct Cremation

​(Inclusive Cost of our Services and Third-Party costs £1,575.00)
Our Direct Cremation Service is an option we offer to our families who do not wish to have a Traditional Funeral Service, or perhaps it was the wish of their loved one to have a 'no fuss' funeral. The Direct Cremation is a non-attended Cremation which allows for a dignified send-off, without the added stress of arranging a Traditional Funeral and allows for a Celebration of their loved one's life at a later date. We personally look after all the arrangements of the Direct Cremation and will arrange for the Cremation to take place at a Local Crematorium. 
​Your loved one's favourite song or piece of music that is significant to them or the family can be played as we enter the Crematorium Chapel. Please inform your Funeral Director of the chosen piece of music.
​Please note: As Funeral Directors, we are unable to register the death of a loved one; however, we will guide you every step of the way to ensure this procedure is taken care of as smoothly as possible for you.
