WHAT IS A DIRECT CREMATION?

A direct cremation is a contemporary choice for people who do not want a funeral service bound in tradition. It offers a low cost funeral that allows you to bid a respectful farewell in a simple and fuss-free way. Many families choose to hold a separate memorial event or celebration of life to commemorate the life of the person who has sadly passed away.

This means it is free of certain elements such as a minister, procession, limousines and pallbearers. It does not, however, mean that any corners are cut or the care that you and your loved one receive is in any way less than that of our usual high standards.

Direct Cremation is typically the least expensive option as it can avoid the need for additional costs incurred in a traditional funeral service such as embalming, viewing of the deceased, the funeral service and additional transportation for the family or close friends.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A DIRECT CREMATION?

• A direct cremation is cheaper than a traditional funeral
• You can say farewell to your loved one in your own way, without being tied to tradition or ceremony
• Your loved one receives a cremation carried out with professionalism and dignity
• Without compromising on quality, it offers the same high standard of funeral care as any other.

HOW DOES A DIRECT CREMATION WORK?

A direct cremation involves no formal funeral service. It is usually unattended but, in the case of family-led funerals, can include a gathering of mourners. Price packages for the latter are based on the numbers attending. It is ideal if you want a small funeral, either because of cost or due to the wishes of your loved one.
