What Is Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation is the simplest type of funeral arrangement.
It usually includes:
Bringing your loved one into our care
Looking after all necessary arrangements
Completion of paperwork
A cremation without mourners attending
Return of ashes, if requested
There is no service, ceremony, or procession at the crematorium.
Many families choose this option because it gives them the freedom to remember their loved one in their own way, in their own time.
Why Families Choose Direct Cremation
Every family is different, and there is no single right way to say goodbye.
A direct cremation may be the right choice if you would prefer:
A simple funeral without formality
A quieter, private farewell
More flexibility to arrange a memorial later
A lower-cost alternative to a traditional funeral
Clear, straightforward arrangements without pressure
For some people, a full traditional funeral is important. For others, simplicity feels more personal. What matters most is choosing what is right for you and your family.
