What is a

direct cremation?

A direct cremation is a simple service which no one attends. Our funeral directors will take the deceased directly to the crematorium. After the service, we can return their ashes to you for you to do with as you wish. As there isn’t a formal service with people in attendance, unattended funerals are our lowest cost option. Even though this is a cheaper service, rest assured we will still treat your loved one with the respect and dignity they deserve.
