We understand that every family’s needs are different. That’s why we offer Direct Cremation services – a straightforward and affordable option for those who prefer a simple, dignified farewell without the formality of a traditional funeral service.

For some, Direct Cremation offers privacy, practicality, and peace of mind. It removes the pressure of arranging a large ceremony, while still ensuring your loved one is cared for with the utmost dignity and respect.

We also offer the choice of an Attended Direct Cremation, giving close family and friends the opportunity to be present at the crematorium for a short 15-minute service. This provides a balance between simplicity and the comfort of being able to say goodbye in person.

At the same time, we believe deeply in the healing power of remembrance. Many families find comfort in arranging a separate memorial, thanksgiving service, or celebration of life at a later date. These gatherings allow loved ones to come together, share stories, and begin the journey of grief as a community.

Whatever you choose – whether a Direct Cremation, an Attended Direct Cremation, or a full funeral service – our experienced and compassionate team will support you with clarity, care, and respect.

📞 If you’d like to talk through the options available, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01743 368999.
