Direct Cremation / Simple Funeral
As an alternative to a “traditional” funeral, many people choose a Direct Cremation also known as a Simple Funeral. A direct cremation is usually, but not always, a service without a minister, without a funeral procession and sometimes without family and friends present. Instead of having a bespoke funeral, we offer two types of direct / simple cremations with a set price for each service. Both Simple funerals require full payment before the day of the funeral and you cannot add extra services to these types of funeral.
Please contact us for more information if required.
