At James Ashton & Son, weโve supported families for generations with care, respect, and personal guidance. Whether you prefer a traditional funeral service - a time to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life - followed by a burial or attended cremation, or a simple, unattended direct cremation, which is a more private farewell without a formal service, weโre here to support you every step of the way.
We provide local direct cremations in Dundee for ยฃ1,350, delivered with the same care and professionalism as all our services. This offers a personal and affordable way to say goodbye, with your loved one always remaining close to home. Unlike some larger companies you may have seen advertised on TV, we never use third parties or transport across the country. You can trust our experienced team to provide respectful, compassionate care at every stage.
