Frequently asked questions
What is direct cremation?
Direct cremation is a simple cremation without a funeral service at the crematorium. It gives families the freedom to hold a separate farewell in their own time, if they wish.
Why do people choose direct cremation?
Many families choose it for its simplicity, flexibility, and transparent cost. It can also feel like a calmer alternative to a traditional service.
How quickly does direct cremation happen?
Timing depends on registration and statutory paperwork, but we keep you updated throughout and move everything forward as quickly as possible.
Can family attend the cremation?
Direct cremation is typically unattended. Families often choose to hold a personal memorial or gathering separately, in a way that feels right for them.
Do you receive the ashes?
Yes. We can arrange collection or return of the ashes once the cremation has taken place and will talk you through the available options.
