A direct cremation is free of pomp and ceremony. Unlike funeral ceremonies in the traditional sense, there are no processions, flowers, cars, no viewing of the deceased and no attendance at the crematorium itself. It's a fuss-free alternative to a traditional funeral, which doesn't compromise on quality.
