Affordable Low Cost Cremation - £950
Our Direct Cremation provides families with a dignified, respectful and simple cremation for their loved one. There is no attendance by any mourners, or service or ceremony beforehand. It is also known as a basic cremation, simple cremation or cremation without ceremony.
The fee for our Direct Cremation is £950. We don't include the current fee of £82 for the Doctor to complete the necessary cremation form, this is because if there is an investigation by HM Coroner, these fees don't apply. This includes a simple solid pine coffin for the cremation.
Arrangements are made over the telephone and all the required paperwork will be sent to you via email or by post for you to complete, with our help.
With over 25 years experience, our staff are available to assist families 24/7, 365 days of the year. Call us for more information.

In keeping with my loved ones’ wishes I was looking for a simple cremation service. From making an initial enquiry to receiving the ashes I was treated with utmost courtesy and kindness at a very difficult time. I would highly recommend this company as you will receive a professional service from people who are quick to return calls, explain the process and are extremely professional.

Direct Cremations - Your Questions Answered
Can I attend the direct cremation?
Unfortunately, with a direct cremation, the crematoriums do not allow mourners to attend, this allows them to supply the service at a cheaper rate.
Can the ashes be returned to the family?
Yes, ashes can be returned to the family by a member of our team, within 21 days of the cremation. There is an additional charge for this of £75.00.
Can I hold a service for my loved one?
Whilst a direct cremation doesn't provide for a service at the crematorium, there is no reason why you can't celebrate your loved one's life. This may be as a formal service in a Church or Chapel, or as a less formal service in a garden, village hall or pub.
