A direct cremation is an alternative to a funeral service, there is no service, minister or attendees and many crematoriums now offer direct cremations.  After the cremation has taken place cremated remains can either be scattered in the garden of remembrance at the crematorium or collected from our office for people to plan their own memorial.

  • Completion of all legal documentation

  • Removal of the deceased to a suitable resting place allowing 20 running miles within normal hours

  • Provision of direct cremation coffin with fittings

  • Conveyance direct to a crematorium without a service

  • Providing necessary staff

  • Optional use of the Chapel of Rest (fees apply)
