WHAT IS DIRECT CREMATION

In the realm of funeral services, direct cremation has emerged as a dignified, uncomplicated choice for many families. At its heart, direct cremation is about simplicity and the personal space to grieve and remember in your own way.

What is Direct Cremation?


Direct cremation involves bringing the deceased into our care and conducting a straightforward, unattended cremation. This process does not include a formal service or ceremony at the crematorium. The absence of service means that families can choose to say goodbye in a manner that feels right for them, free from the constraints of traditional funeral formats.


Why Choose Direct Cremation?

Simplicity: Direct cremation strips back the complexities often associated with funeral arrangements. It focuses solely on the act of cremation, providing a no-fuss approach that many find comforting.


Flexibility: Without the need to plan a service at the time of the cremation, families have the freedom to organise a memorial or gathering at a time and place that suits them best. This could be immediately after the cremation or at a later date, allowing time for reflection and planning a more personal tribute.


Cost-Effectiveness: Typically, direct cremations are more affordable than traditional funeral services. The reduction in cost can alleviate financial pressure during a time that is already challenging.


Personalisation: Saying goodbye in a way that truly reflects the person you’ve lost can be an essential part of the grieving process. Direct cremation provides the opportunity to create a unique, personal memorial – be it a small family gathering, scattering ashes in a meaningful place, or even a celebration of a life event.

How Does the Process Work?


Upon taking someone into our care, we ensure they are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The cremation is carried out without attendees, and the ashes are then returned to the family. We are here to support and guide you through every step, ensuring the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

After the Cremation


Once the cremation has taken place, families can take their time to decide how they wish to commemorate their loved one. Some choose to keep the ashes in a special urn, while others may scatter them in a place of significance. The choice is deeply personal and reflects the unique relationship shared with the departed.
