Direct cremations provide an affordable alternative to a traditional funeral, without compromising on the quality of care. It can be arranged with the minimum of fuss and includes the provision of a simple coffin, doctor’s fees for medical papers, collection and care of the deceased and transportation to the crematorium in a traditional hearse. 

A direct cremation is a contemporary choice for people who do not want a traditional funeral. It offers a low cost funeral that allows you to bid a respectful farewell in a simple and fuss-free way.

This means it is free of certain elements such as a minister, procession, limousines and pallbearers. It does not, however, mean that any corners are cut or the care that you and your loved one receive is in any way less than that of our usual high standards.
