Direct Cremation as you may have seen advertised on TV has no service for family or friends at all.

It is quite simply a removal of your loved one, followed by the return of the cremated remains some weeks later. It is often the case that your loved one is transported to a central cremation hub, the other end of the country, far from their home.

As your local independent funeral director we also offer Direct Cremation, but unlike many of the offers advertised on TV, we will care for your loved one locally at our premises, the cremation will take place at a local crematorium and we will continue to offer the additional services you have come to expect from us. Options such as the opportunity to say goodbye to your loved one at our Chapel of Rest and even the option for a small amount of mourners to attend are available to you.

Our team of funeral directors will treat your loved one with the utmost care and respect.

Feel free to come in for a chat about the wide range of options we offer to suit all budgets, also available as a Pre Paid Funeral Plan 0115 9632211.

As we close the door on 2024 and enter 2025 we remember all those who are no longer with us🕯️

Happy New Year from everyone at Graham Wards.
