Direct Cremation
From £1,165
Our direct cremation service allows you to focus on the essentials:
A simple and dignified sending-off with the highest degree of professionalism and care, because you recognise that end-of-life services do not have to be elaborate and expensive to be respectful.
Such “simple” cremations are increasingly common, including among celebrities ranging from John Lennon to Karl Lagerfield.
Although they had the money and fame to be commemorated with lavish services attended by thousands, these superstars opted for the intimacy of a direct cremation instead.
What Is a Direct Cremation
What is a direct cremation?
A direct cremation plus is a modern alternative to a traditional cremation funeral. The cremation takes place completely separately from the personal farewell and our families use the ashes urn or a favourite photograph as their focal point for remembrance. It’s perfect for people who don’t like funerals.
Freed up from the crematorium, and with the ashes portable, almost anything is possible.
The ceremony could be held:
Where you like…
At home, in the garden, on a hilltop or on a boat. It could be in the town hall, church or at your favourite pub. It could be a memorial bike ride or a picnic. Ashes can be scattered or buried as part of the ceremony. They can be kept at home or transported abroad.
When you like…
You can take as much time as you like to plan a ceremony. It could be in a month, a few months or you could wait for the summer.
How you like…
It could be led by a vicar, a celebrant, a friend or a family member. Or you may decide not to hold a funeral at all. It’s entirely up to you.

Additional Services
Non hospital collections
£250
Not all pass away in a hospital setting, and we are dedicated to providing prompt care for you and your loved one, whether at home, in a care home, or in a hospice. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time, day or night, discuss the next steps. Our team will respond as quickly as possible, and we will provide you with a clear estimate of our arrival time.
Return of Ashes
£50
The collection of ashes following cremation is INCLUDED in our pricing. We kindly ask that you inform us if you have scheduled a scattering or memorial service. Additionally, may specify a preferred day and time the return of your loved one's ashes.
Larger Client Care
£250
If your loved one exceeds 22 inches in width or weighs over 20 stone, we may need to arrange for a specialist coffin. Each case will be evaluated individually, and we will inform you in advance if this is necessary. Please notify us if your loved one weighs more than 20 stone, as we will require additional staff for a safe and dignified transfer into our care, especially from an upstairs location. We are unable to collect deceased individuals over 30 stone, and you may incur charges for attempted collection if we are not informed.
Spending time with your loved one
£100
For those who wish to spend a final moment with their loved one before cremation we will gladly arrange for you to visit our chapel of rest during working. Your comfort and peace during this time are our top priority, and we are here to support you.
