About Our Basic Package

Direct Cremation

A direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation where your loved one is cremated without a funeral service or ceremony. Our experienced team takes care of everything on your behalf, with quiet respect and care.

What’s included in the Basic Cremation Package for £1140

Unattended direct cremation
A private cremation with no service or mourners present. Families can choose to say goodbye in a personal way, whether quietly at home or with a memorial held later.

Collection of your loved one
We’ll collect your loved one from a hospital or mortuary during office hours and bring them into our care. Every transfer is handled with compassion by trained staff.

A suitable coffin
We’ll provide a coffin compatible with the chosen cremation method.

Cremation at a local crematorium
We’ll arrange the cremation at one of our trusted crematorium partners. While we make the booking, we always aim to keep it as close to home as possible. You’ll be informed of the day and date.

Cremation fees included
All necessary fees are covered, including the cremation and preparation of the ashes.

Ashes scattered or returned
After the cremation, you can choose to have the ashes scattered in the crematorium’s garden of remembrance or returned to you by hand, with care, for an additional fee.

From just £1,140, a direct cremation has become a popular and thoughtful choice for many families, allowing you to mark your loved one’s passing in your own time, without the pressure of a formal service.
