How is a direct cremation arranged?
Look at your options
We want you to be as comfortable with your choice as possible. Do some research, look at different funeral options, funeral directors (and who owns them!) and then costs. Ensure any quotes include everything you need and want. Tips: Your best option may not be your local funeral director and price matching means they could have been a lower cost in the first place.
The next step
The next step is to contact the funeral director. For us, we will ensure you have picked the right options to be able to receive the service you want. We will explain everything to you and offer advice on booking and attending the registrar, personalising the service and ways a funeral can be paid for.
Completing the paperwork
We will work with you to complete the necessary paperwork needed for a cremation. We can do this via email or post, depending on what is best for you.
What we do next
Whilst the paperwork is being completed we will; bring your loved one into our care, arrange the doctors, crematorium and coffin.
Conducting the funeral
Although there is no attendance by family or friends we will still transport your loved one to the crematorium in a specialist funeral vehicle. The direct cremation funeral director will attend with our team of bearers and ensure that the highest standards of care and service are being provided.
Ashes instructions
We will care for your loved one's ashes as per your instructions. Typically, with a direct cremation the ashes are scattered in the crematorium's garden of rest however if you have requested they are returned to you, we will either courier or personally deliver them to you.
