For those who not have been comfortable with the idea of traditional funerals, Direct Cremation in York offers a personalised alternative that can reflect the individuality of your loved one. This ceremony is brief and usually unattended, but your attendance with friends and family can be arranged, if you would like. We take care of transporting your loved one to the crematorium for their ceremony from where they are resting, as well as the return of their ashes to you by hand at home. We could also scatter them for you at the crematorium's own garden of remembrance. This option ensures a memorable and respectful way to bid farewell to your loved one, free from the formal constraints that they wouldn't have wanted.
The unexpected cost of arranging a funeral can understandably lead to additional stress, especially if the need to have the funeral in the first place was unforeseen. We want you to know straight away that we recognise this. However, it might be comforting to know that our ceremonies are often more affordable than others in the UK, starting at just £1,095, and they may cost less than half of what you might pay for the average UK funeral. We're here to discuss your requirements and provide a direct quote for our services in York, should you decide you would like to give us a call.
Our goal is to enable you to celebrate your loved one's life in a meaningful and personalised manner. We're ready to offer suggestions for adding personal touches to the ceremony if you're unsure where to start. Whether it's having the celebrant share bespoke tributes or choosing music for your loved one's entrance to the crematorium that was special to them, these are just a few ways to make the day special. If you have any specific requests or ideas, please reach out, and we'll do everything to accommodate them, ensuring a truly personalised farewell.
You can always be sure that we will work as quickly as we can without letting the quality of our work suffer. However as with the matter of cost, the specialness of each funeral means that it is hard to give you specific information about time before we have understood what you are looking for. With a bespoke funeral in York, we would aim for a two-week arrangement period, though other services may take longer. Please get in touch with us over the phone to let us know what you've got in mind. Then we will have a better idea of how long things could take.
Needing to organise a funeral can understandably bring about a mix of fear and concern, but this is even truer at a time when things might have been sudden, or if we have never planned a funeral before. We're here to assist you, regardless of how much or little help you require. The Angels, our team of experts, are ready to listen and understand your needs, equipped to ask the right questions to best support you. We want you to lean on us should you need, and let us do the legwork for you. Our aim is to organise a funeral your loved one would have been proud of, and to give you the peace of mind to know that everything is taken care of.
