It can be hard to know the best decision to make when we want to do right by our loved ones, especially if we find ourselves planning their send-off unexpectedly. It might help you to understand that a Direct Cremation is an increasingly popular funeral option in the UK which does away with a lot of the traditional formalities of other funerals. If your loved one would have been uneasy with their name written in big floral tributes or with a hearse, then it could be a good option for them, as they are not normally included. We can arrange things simply for you in Sittingbourne by bringing your loved one to the crematorium for their ceremony. Afterwards, we can personally hand-deliver their ashes to you, or, if you think it would be best, we can scatter them directly on your behalf at the crematorium's solace garden. It gives your loved one a brief and dignified way of being remembered on their own terms.
It might help to bear in mind here that each funeral is as special and different as the person they concern, which means that the price can vary widely depending on what you'd like. Something we hope makes things a bit more comfortable is that this kind of service is normally a good bit less pricey than others, and the average British funeral could cost more than double the price of an Aura funeral. We are able to arrange this ceremony in Sittingbourne for you starting at £1,095, but we can only give you a direct quote once we have understood what you are working. If you'd like, you can give us a call and we can plan something together that works for you.
It would be our honour to create something with you that does your loved one justice on their terms. With typical formalities not included in the service, more room opens up for the expression of their personality and character. If you know that you want to tailor things to your loved one, but aren't sure how, we can provide a few simple examples to help get you started: There are those who like to personalise the words that will be spoken by the celebrant at the beginning of the ceremony, making sure that they say something personal about them. Others find it important to provide their loved one with a coffin that celebrates who they were in life, whether through its colour or adornments, the images or words written upon it, or the materials it's made from. Whatever your own ideas, we'd be very glad to hear them from you over the phone. We can plan something together that does right by your loved one.
If you think that one of our customised funerals might work best for your loved one, we could arrange all the details within two weeks, but please bear in mind that other options may take a little longer. We know how important it is to have clear communications from us throughout this process, which is why we commit to keeping you fully updated regularly as we work. We also want you to know that we will work as quickly as we possibly can without leading to a drop in the quality of our service. You may also find it helpful to remember that the duration needed to arrange different funerals could vary. Just as soon as we've had the opportunity to discuss with you directly, we will be better able to give you some specific information about how long things could take.
If you ever find yourself in need of any assistance during this time, we're just a phone call away. The task of suddenly having to arrange a funeral can bring about a lot of worries and concerns, particularly for those who have never faced it before or if the situation was unforeseen. Our Angels, a dedicated team of experienced funeral planners, stand ready to address any queries you might have or simply to offer a sympathetic ear. If it's what you need, they are equipped to handle all aspects of the planning process, removing the hassle of administrative tasks from your shoulders. Our aim is for you to have the freedom to fully engage with your friends and family during this period, without needing to worry about extra logistical details.
