DIRECT CREMATION

A Simpler Way
to Say Goodbye

Direct cremation is a simple form of cremation without a formal service beforehand. It’s chosen by families who prefer a quiet, no-fuss approach, or who wish to hold a separate memorial or celebration of life at a later date.

With direct cremation, your loved one is cared for and cremated without a service at the crematorium. This allows families flexibility, simplicity and lower costs, while still ensuring everything is handled with dignity and respect. We’ll guide you through what’s involved and answer any questions along the way.
