If you are not eligible for this financial help but would like low cost funeral services in Walsall, our simple cremation funerals prioritise affordability without compromising on care. Our direct cremation funerals without attendees are available from just £1,299. Alternatively, if you and your family would like the tradition of saying a final goodbye, our attended cremation services costs from £1,899.
The most affordable funeral option available is a direct cremation funeral. This is a cremation that takes place without any mourners present. Our respectful direct cremation funeral services in Walsall start from just £1,299. Prior to the cremation, the coffin is rested in the chapel with a chapel attendant present and a chosen piece of music can be played. The cremation then takes place and the ashes are personally returned to the preferred family member or friend.

For example, we transport the deceased in our own private ambulances so you don't have to hire costly hearses or limousines.
