A direct cremation is a simple service without the ceremonial elements of a more traditional funeral, giving families the flexibility to plan a personal memorial later, if desired. We’ll bring the person who has died from one of our leading-edge local care centres to the crematorium via a private ambulance. Within 21 days, we can then either return the ashes directly to you at home, or we can scatter them on your behalf at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. Please note that a nominal fee will apply to hand-delivery.

According to SunLife, this is significantly less than the average cost of a traditional funeral in the UK, making it a more accessible option for local families.
