DIRECT CREMATION
Direct cremations are gaining in popularity in the UK. A direct cremation (or direct disposal as it is sometimes known) involves a simple cremation without a funeral service. Often unattended, 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. All our coffins can be used in a direct cremation.
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.
With a direct cremation the body must still be covered up in public however, a coffin is not necessarily required.
