Why Families Choose Direct Cremation

Direct cremations are increasingly chosen for many reasons, including lower cost while still ensuring dignified care, no service at the crematorium, freedom to hold a memorial later, more time to plan a personal tribute without time pressure, and suitability for families who live far apart or wish to gather at a later date.

Direct Cremation Cost and What's Included

Our direct cremation cost is £1,575, which includes collection of your loved one within 20 miles, professional care while in our chapel, a simple coffin suitable for cremation, all necessary paperwork and arrangements, transportation to the crematorium, cremation carried out with dignity, and ashes returned in a simple container.

What's Not Included

Our direct cremation service does not include a service or attendees at the crematorium, limousines or procession, minister, celebrant or officiant, floral arrangements, or viewing in the chapel unless arranged separately. Optional extras, such as floral tributes, memorial stationery, urns, and keepsakes, can be added if desired.

How a Direct Cremation Works

The direct cremation process involves three steps: bringing your loved one into our care, completing necessary forms and legal documents, and a respectful cremation. We will guide you through the process and ensure that your loved one is treated with dignity and respect throughout.
