Simple cremation FAQs
What is a simple cremation?
A simple cremation focuses on the essential elements of saying goodbye without the traditional funeral processions, flowers, or ceremonial elements. It can be either an unattended cremation where no mourners are present, or a small-scale service where families can opt for a brief formal ceremony. This affordable alternative to traditional funerals provides respectful cremation with utmost care.
How does a simple cremation differ from choosing direct cremation?
Simple cremations are stripped back to the essentials, free of pomp and ceremony, but unlike a direct cremation funeral, they can include mourners present at a simple service. Many families prefer this middle ground between an unattended funeral and a traditional funeral service. Direct cremations are unattended, whilst simple cremations allow family to attend if they wish.
Can I have a memorial service later?
Yes, simple cremations give you the time and flexibility to plan a celebration of life or memorial service at a later date in your own personal way, allowing family and friends to gather when it feels right. This approach lets you honour your loved one’s life without the funeral cost of additional services on the day.
What's included in your low-cost cremation services?
All our packages include collection of the deceased, care prior to cremation, cremation fees, and provision of ashes. Our friendly team handles all funeral arrangements with no hidden extras, and our dedicated team provides a personal touch throughout the process.
