There are a number of different ways you can have a funeral that is personal to you and your family.
For example, direct cremations offer a personal, contemporary, fuss-free choice caringly delivered without a funeral service at a crematorium where attendees are present. Instead, the family can choose to have a memorial service at a later date, with the ashes present, at a venue that suits them. It is also the least expensive option.
At the other end of the scale, there is the option of a traditional funeral, which includes a funeral procession with a hearse and limousines, but often has a rigid, fixed funeral service and is a formal affair at a traditional venue. Compared to a direct funeral, it is also much more expensive.
In today's world, there are also options for affordable funerals with mourners present. A small, attended cremation for example, is a funeral inclusive of a cremation service for a select number of attendees, which offers a fuss-free farewell combined with a final chance to say goodbye.
And a simple funeral that has a long service for as many attendees as the venue can hold, but does not include a procession, and the fuss and formality associated with that of a traditional funeral service.
We take care of every step of the funeral cremation process, from collection right through to the funeral service itself, providing peace of mind for you and the ones you love during the most difficult of times.
