Direct Cremations

What Makes Our Direct Cremation Service Different?

Personal, Local Care: Your loved one stays in our care from the moment we collect them until the day of cremation. We never outsource or transport them long distances.

A Hearse, Always: We provide a traditional hearse to convey your loved one to the crematorium, ensuring a respectful journey.

Dedicated Team: A funeral director and professional bearers are always present to accompany and guide the service.

A Suitable Coffin Included: We provide a quality coffin, chosen with dignity and simplicity in mind.

Your Involvement Matters: You’re welcome to attend the crematorium as your loved one arrives. We invite you to choose music for the entrance and offer a moment of reflection, including a reading, prayer, or poem as the curtain closes.

All Paperwork Managed: We take care of every legal and logistical detail, arrange the date and time for the cremation, and handle the required documentation on your behalf.

Ashes Returned or Arranged as You Wish: Following the cremation, we return your loved one’s ashes to you or assist with alternative wishes, such as scattering or memorial interment.
