You may choose to hold a separate memorial event or celebration of life to commemorate the life of the person who has sadly passed on that is different from a funeral service bound in tradition. It offers a low-cost funeral that allows you to bid a respectful farewell in a simple and fuss-free way. Direct cremation means a Funeral Director’s services are not needed as it is directly organised by a loved one of the deceased. This service frees you from the elements some people consider unnecessary when saying goodbyes such as a minister, procession, limousines and pallbearers.

– A direct cremation is more affordable than a traditional funeral service.

– Your loved one receives the same professionalism, care and dignity during the cremation process.

– You can say farewell to your loved one in your own way, without the extra elements of a traditional funeral.

A team will be sent out to you straight away or at a time that is convenient for you, just as soon as the Doctor or a qualified person has medically confirmed the death. When we have the completed forms and medical certificates from the Doctors or Coroner, we will then make arrangements for the cremation to take place at a date and time at our discretion.

Whilst in our care, everyone is treated with exactly the same level of care and respect that we would show all our clients.

Each person is laid out, washed and dressed as per your wishes. They are then laid into a wooden coffin, fully fitted with handles, lining and pillow. A formal nameplate is fixed to the lid which can be personalised as you would like.

On the morning of the cremation, we will make our way to the crematorium at the appointed time. We will carry the coffin into the chapel and place it upon the catafalque. If there is a particular piece of music you would like played, any words or perhaps a poem that you would like our Director to say on your behalf, these will be made at this time

We will then pay our own respects, close the curtains and depart.

The following day, we will return to collect the ashes on your behalf unless you have asked for these to be scattered in the Crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance.

If you would like us to return the ashes to you, we will be happy to do so.  We will never use a courier and will always hand-carry the ashes back to you in person.  There may be a small charge depending on the distance to be travelled.

You can also choose from our range of Urns, Caskets or Scatter Tubes if you would prefer the ashes to be placed in something more dignified and personal than the container supplied by the crematorium.

Sometimes an unattended cremation is not right for everyone and you may want to keep the simplicity of a Direct Cremation but still wish to come to pay your last respects and say your final goodbye’s. 

If you were to choose this option, we will meet you at the crematorium and you can walk in with us into the Chapel as we play your choice of music. Due to the current circumstances, we can arrange a virtual attendance for you and your family.

You can then take a few moments to gently say your farewell, perhaps to say a few words or share a poem or simply sit in the peace of the Chapel and listen to a special piece of music for a while.

Then, when you’re ready, we can softly close the curtains and make our exit.

You can spend up to a quarter of an hour together in the Chapel and you can use this time in whatever way you wish.

This is one of our package options.

With our Simple Family Cremation Service, you can not only join us at the Crematorium, but you can hold your own private funeral service in whatever way is fitting for the memory and character of your loved one.

We will arrange the date and time (before 10 am) for the funeral service to be held with you.

You and your family & friends are invited to attend, and if you wish we will offer the services of our Civil Celebrant to facilitate your own small service.

Alternatively, you can simply accompany the coffin into the chapel as we play your choice of music and then hold your own farewell as best befits the dignity and character of the person who has died.

We can help you to plan your service plus we can create the design, layout and printing of up to 12, in full colour, A5 size Order of Service booklets.

You will have up to 20 minutes of private time in the chapel to hold your service & we will carry the coffin to the crematorium in our formal Hearse and provide all the staff and resources necessary for the occasion.

In many respects, there is really very little difference between this service and a full price funeral, other than it being held earlier in the day.

This is a package option.
