What is a Direct Cremation?

A direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation with no service or mourners present.

It can be arranged immediately when needed, or purchased in advance as a plan to provide peace of mind for the future.

Ashes can be scattered in the crematorium’s gardens at no extra cost, or returned to you if preferred.

Many people are choosing direct cremation for its simplicity and flexibility.

It allows families and loved ones to remember and celebrate a life in their own way, whether through quiet reflection or a more personal gathering at a later date.
