A direct cremation is simply a
cremation without a service.
​
The person who has died is collected
and cared for by us until the day of the cremation when they are taken in a simple coffin to the crematorium
without mourners present.
​
The ashes are then returned to you for you to decide whether you would like to hold an ashes ceremony.
​
This is sometimes also known as a simple cremation.
This is the lowest priced option and
for many this is a driving force.
​
For others, they just do not want to have a
funeral service at the time of death.
​
A direct cremation enables the family to be able to hold a memorial, honouring of life or celebration of life ceremony, if they wish to, at a time and place
that suits them.
​
You are free to choose what is right for you
whether a traditional style ceremony or a more relaxed picnic/country walk
sharing memories.
Not sure what to do when someone dies?
We guide you here.
Slow
down
and
take
a
moment
to
just
breathe,
to
just
be.
