Direct Cremation
What is a Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation, also known as simple cremation, offers an unattended cremation suitable for those who do not want a formal funeral service, while still allowing a family to say a simple goodbye.
As with all of our options, your loved one will receive the highest standard of care from our skilled and professional team. We’ll care for them at one of our Chapels of Rest and they will be taken to a local crematorium of our choice by private ambulance. You will be unable to visit your loved one whilst they are in our care at our Chapel of Rest or attend your loved one’s cremation.
Direct Cremation Costs: £1,595
(Includes Coffin)
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.
