“From the moment my mum passed away until the moment we collected her ashes, the customer service was brilliant. We were given a dedicated Funeral Director (Kerry Ludlow) who was always just a call away for any questions or concerns we had with the arrangements of my mum’s cremation. She guided us through the whole experience with, kindness, empathy and compassion. We will always be grateful for all the help and support we were given at such a difficult time.”

Basildon direct cremation
If a full service isn’t suitable, a direct cremation in Basildon offers a simpler, lower-cost alternative. This unattended cremation still includes all the care and support you would expect from our experienced professionals.
- The service offers everything needed for a respectful service, including a classic wood coffin, transport and the cremation itself.
- Before the cremation, the coffin is rested in the chapel accompanied by a piece of music chosen by the family.
- Ashes can be returned to you or scattered in the memorial gardens at Basildon Crematorium.
A Basildon direct cremation can be a more affordable option and gives families the freedom to plan a separate goodbye at a later time and place.
