A simple funeral is a low cost cremation for those looking for a farewell free of pomp and tradition. A farewell that is inclusive of the essentials, but nothing more.
Simple funerals include all the basics such as the collection of the deceased, the cremation itself and the return of the ashes, but they remove all the formalities such as the procession and ceremony.
At Distinct Cremations, we offer two types of simple funerals:

Call on 01543 212 000A simple funeral can mean different things to different people. It can be attended or an unattended funeral, it can include a service or not include a service. But one common theme is that a simple funeral includes little more than the essentials.
That means there is no procession, no limousine and no hearse. Instead, the coffin is taken to the crematorium via a private ambulance and rested on the catafalque by the funeral team.
The same care, dignity and compassion is dutifully carried out by the team from collection right through to the return of the ashes. But there are no frills and no extravagance. Just a low stress, no fuss funeral which costs on average 75% less*** than a traditional funeral cremation.
*** 75% saving is based on the cost of a basic funeral at £3,953 (SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2023, sunlife.co.uk/ funeral-costs) vs the cost of a Distinct Cremations direct cremation at £995
