Understanding Direct Cremation
Respectful Farewell
A direct cremation is an increasingly chosen alternative that focuses on the essential elements of a farewell. It involves the respectful collection and care of your loved one, followed by a quiet, unattended cremation.
After the cremation, the ashes are returned directly to you. This separation of the cremation from the memorial allows your family the time and space to plan a more personal tribute or celebration of life later, in a place and manner that truly reflects the individual. It is a choice that offers simplicity without compromising on dignity.
Why Families Choose This Path
Personal Support
Affordable & Transparent
By focusing on the essentials, a direct cremation avoids many of the costs associated with traditional funerals, such as venue hire, limousines, and elaborate floral arrangements. Our pricing is clear and all-inclusive, providing financial reassurance when you need it most.
Flexible & Personal
A direct cremation gives you the freedom to say goodbye in your own way and in your own time. You can hold a memorial service, a scattering of ashes ceremony, or a family gathering at a time and place that holds special meaning, free from the pressures of a conventional funeral timeline.
Simple & Dignified
We handle all the practical and logistical arrangements with professionalism and compassion. This relieves your family of the stress of organising a complex event during a time of grief, allowing you to focus on supporting one another and remembering your loved one.

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.
