Direct Cremation
What is a direct cremation?
Your loved one is cremated separately away from any service or celebration of their life that may take place.
You may choose to have a gathering or service of remembrance at a later date, with or without the ashes present.
We can advise you of the date of the cremation if you prefer.
Maybe a private family scattering or choose to keep their ashes at home.
We can help you choose a suitable urn or keepsake if you wish to keep them at home.
We can arrange a Burial of Ashes at a Cemetery, Churchyard or Natural Burial Ground
