We collect the deceased, carry out the cremation, and hand-deliver the ashes back making things as fuss and stress-free as possible for families. Secondly, there is the memorial service or celebration which the family organises. Loved ones can gather at a time and place of their choice to commemorate the deceased.
With our direct cremation, we allow families to say goodbye when they want, where they want and how they want. These are just some of the many places in Nottingham where you could consider having your memorial service.
