What is an Intimate Cremation Plan?

Often, people like the idea of a direct cremation but wish they could see the coffin at the crematorium and have the chance to say goodbye to you before the cremation.

Our Intimate Cremation is designed to allow this. It’s a short 10 minute farewell that takes place early in the morning at the crematorium of your choice. An Intimate Cremation gives your family the chance to gather and be present at the crematorium chapel before the cremation takes place. It’s a simple, dignified, low-cost chance to let them say goodbye.

Up to eight people can attend , where they can say goodbye, have a moment of quiet reflection and listen to a piece of music in your honour. This option allows those closest to you to witness the committal of your coffin and gives them time to think about how they’d like to say goodbye in full at a later time and location that suits everyone.

** Price advertised is for a 50-year-old paying over a 10 year period.

What’s included in an Intimate Cremation?

Collection and Care of The Deceased. When the time comes for your cremation to be actioned, your family will need to call our team of Personal Advisors, who are here to help 24/7. They’ll organise for our experienced funeral team to collect you in a specialised funeral vehicle and bring you to our purpose-built mortuary. We’ll care for you with respect and dignity, washing, dressing and laying you in your coffin before taking you to the crematorium.

24/7 Support. Every family receives the 24/7 support of a Personal Advisor who’ll answer any questions they may have.

A 10 Minute Farewell. Our Personal Advisors will make arrangements for a simple goodbye at the crematorium with friends and family before the cremation takes place. Up to eight people can gather, early in the morning, to say farewell, remember the life of the deceased and play a musical tribute in your honour.

The Cremation. The Intimate Cremation takes place at 9am. Prior to arrival, our funeral team will respectfully bring you to the chapel and place you at the head of the chapel on the catafalque. After your loved ones have said their goodbyes, you’ll be committed and then respectfully cremated.

A Simple Coffin. You’ll be provided with a simple wood effect veneer coffin.

The Ashes Returned within 14 days. After the cremation, your ashes will be carefully scattered in our beautifully landscaped remembrance garden or hand-returned to your loved ones within 14 days.

What's Not Included? This is a simple cremation featuring a 10 minute opportunity for your loved ones to say goodbye to before the cremation. The number of mourners is restricted to eight and time in the chapel is limited to 10 minutes. There’s no formal viewing of the deceased, no funeral procession, no hearses and no flowers.

Frequently asked questions

You’ll typically receive your documents within five working days of taking out the plan.

The FCA are assessing funeral providers to ensure they are well run, well financed and well structured, and do not use bad sales practices such as cold calling. The new FCA regulations aim to ensure that all customers get the information they need to make an informed decision, your money is looked after and all plans are sold at a fair price.

For funeral plans, you can pay half of the cost upfront as a deposit and the remaining amount over six monthly instalments.

For a Direct Cremation we provide a simple MDF coffin, and for an attended cremation we provide unvarnished veneered chipboard coffins.

Our application was submitted to the FCA back in November 2021 and our Head of Compliance has been communicating with them regularly throughout the process. You can view our application here

Ashes can be scattered free of charge in our Gardens of Remembrance. If you have chosen to have the ashes returned to you, one of our Funeral Operatives will hand-deliver the ashes to your family after the cremation has happened.

All of the necessary services required for your cremations are in your initial costs. However, on occasion there may be additional costs. You can read the full list of additional services for more information.

Yes - if you’ve taken out a funeral plan by paying a lump sum or paid over 12 monthly instalments and wish to upgrade it to a higher-tier plan at a later date, you’re more than welcome to. All you have to do is pay the remaining difference in price. However, for 5 or 10 year instalment plans, you are not able to upgrade your plan once you have begun paying, you would instead have to start a new plan.

All of our ashes are returned in a simple urn which can be upgraded to a wooden urn for an additional cost.
