Direct cremations have become increasingly popular in recent years, largely due to large online cremation companies, many of which are heavily advertised on TV and across the internet. I'm not naming these “Poor Cremation” companies , as they are many like this appearing now. Companies like these are not regulated funeral directors, and families are often unaware of how their loved one is cared for behind the scenes.
In many cases, the person who has died is transported hundreds of miles in a van with three other deceased to a distant crematorium, not prepared and dressed for their final journey and their ashes may only be returned weeks later when the company is next in the area. For some families, this can be distressing to learn after the fact.
There are many reasons why families choose a direct cremation, such as keeping costs down or preferring a simpler, no-fuss option. However, choosing a trusted local funeral director ensures your loved one receives the dignity, care, and respect they deserve throughout the entire process.
With us, your loved one remains local at all times. They are cared for in our chapel of rest, washed, dressed, and placed in a light-veneered oak coffin before being taken to a nearby crematorium. We are fully regulated by SAIF, giving you peace of mind and confidence in the service you receive.
Our direct cremation service is £1,595 with no hidden fees , often comparable to, or even more affordable than, online cremation companies.
Stay local. Stay informed. Know exactly where your loved one is every step of the way ❤
