Direct Cremation

Direct cremations are gaining in popularity in the UK. A direct cremation (or pure cremation as it is sometimes known) involves a simple cremation without a funeral service.

Direct cremation costs

A direct cremation provides a lower cost alternative to a traditional funeral. It is also a way of avoiding the potential upset caused by a funeral service.

Once the direct cremation has taken place, the ashes can be scattered in the garden of the crematorium or returned to the family.

By choosing a direct cremation loved ones can say their goodbyes in an environment and at a time of their choosing. This could be at a separate memorial service or special event. Read more about the pros and cons of a direct cremation.

With a direct cremation the body must still be covered up in public. A coffin is not necessarily required. Musgrove Willows offer a beautiful willow stretcher and shroud which are ideal for a direct cremation.

Funeral Directors with an online account can purchase items such as willow stretchers, shrouds, gowns and ashes caskets in our Wholesale shop.
