About our Direct Cremation Plan
Our Direct Cremation Plan includes everything needed for a respectful send-off with the highest quality of care guaranteed.
Once you set up your plan, all costs are fixed for peace of mind that the funeral will go ahead according to your wishes.
Direct cremation is a simple goodbye without a service at the crematorium. If you would like friends and family to attend, you may be interested in our Funeral Service Plan.
What's guaranteed in our Direct Cremation Plan
All the essentials included
You will be brought into our care, prepared for cremation at our professional mortuary and transported to one of our crematoriums for the respectful cremation to take place.
A simple yet personal farewell
The coffin enters the crematorium to a piece of music personally selected by you or your family. Our team will respectfully bow as the curtains gently close around the coffin.
The chance for remembrance
Your loved ones will be informed of the cremation date if they wish to be. They can hold an alternative memorial at the same time or simply take a moment of quiet reflection.
A choice for the ashes
Following the cremation, ashes can either be scattered at the peaceful crematorium gardens or we will personally return them within 14 days for your family to keep, bury or scatter.
