Blackwood direct cremation
If a full funeral service isn’t suitable for you or your loved one, a direct cremation is a simple and affordable alternative.
- Although unattended, the cremation is handled with the same level of dignity and respect as our funeral services.
- A classic wood coffin, transport and the cremation itself are included in one clear price.
- You can request a special piece of music to be played in the chapel.
- The ashes can be returned to you or scattered in our peaceful grounds on your behalf.
A direct cremation in Blackwood leaves you free to arrange a more personal, non-traditional send-off.
