Every farewell deserves care, dignity and respect, including direct cremation send-offs where there isn’t a service at the crematorium. 🕊️

When you choose a direct cremation with us, (instead of an online provider) we guarantee that your loved one rests in our Harborne funeral home. The cremation is local, the deceased is never sent away to a large, distant mortuary and crematorium far from home.

They are never sent away to a large distant mortuary and crematorium far from home.

A local direct cremation with us is a simpler choice, with additional options available. But it is still deeply personal.
