A Clear and Compassionate Journey
Your Support
At South West Cremations, we believe in providing a clear and compassionate service from your first call to the moment we return your loved one’s ashes. Understanding the steps involved can bring comfort during a difficult time. Here, we outline our process for the Sunrise Attended Cremation, ensuring you feel supported and informed every step of the way.
Your First Contact with Us
1
From the moment you reach out, our dedicated team is here to listen and provide gentle guidance. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer your questions and help you decide if a Sunrise Attended Cremation is the right choice for your family. During this initial conversation, we will explain the service, discuss your needs, and outline the next steps without any pressure or obligation.
Bringing Your Loved One into Our Care

Once you have instructed us, we will arrange for the collection of your loved one with the utmost dignity and respect. Our professional team will bring them to our local South West facility. We handle all necessary arrangements and paperwork, ensuring a seamless process while your loved one rests peacefully in our care.

Scheduling the Attended Service
3
We will coordinate with you to arrange a suitable date and time for the attended cremation. These services are typically held on weekday mornings to ensure a quiet and private atmosphere at the crematorium. You will have the opportunity to choose a special piece of music to be played during the service, adding a personal touch to the farewell.
A Personal and Intimate Farewell
4
If you choose the Sunrise Attended Cremation, our team will meet you at the crematorium chapel on the day of the service. A small group of family and friends (we recommend up to 10-12 people) will have up to 15 minutes of quiet, reflective time to say your goodbyes. During this moment, you can share a few words, listen to chosen music, or simply be together before the cremation takes place.

The Respectful Return of the Ashes

Following the cremation, we will carefully prepare the ashes in a simple, dignified container. We will then contact you to arrange for their safe return. One of our own team members will hand-deliver the ashes to you, ensuring a continuum of personal care from our family to yours.
A Private Moment to Say Goodbye
Our Chapel
We believe that every family deserves a quiet, private moment to say goodbye. That is why we offer every family the opportunity to visit our peaceful chapel of rest.
This is a core part of our commitment to you. It provides a tranquil space for you to spend time with your loved one before the cremation, offering a sense of closure in a way that feels right for you. Unlike many providers, especially those offering direct cremation, we ensure this personal time is available to everyone we care for, because we understand how much these final moments matter.
