Direct Cremation is a method of providing a service to bring to an end the whole funeral process. Nowhere in the world has this ever been described as a healthy option from the point of view of those left behind. Often selected as a way of avoiding stress. We are now seeing families forever caught up in the distress of a non funeral for a beloved person. We will provide one. But you will be asked to sign a disclaimer. This states that we advise against it on grounds that it could adversely affect the mental health of those left behind.
Included in our direct cremation
We will collect the deceased from the place of death and bring them to our premises. This will be in normal working hours. Working hours are Monday to Friday and 9.00am till 5.00pm. We do have a 24 hour service and it will be available should you need to use it. There is an additional £300.00 fee to pay. This we will do within around a 10 mile radius of the office you select. Don’t worry about getting out maps to check, we will not charge any additional fee so long as the distance is reasonable.
We will then take the deceased in their coffin, to the appropriate crematorium for cremation. This will be at an unspecified day and time. There will be no service at that facility.
Direct Cremation vehicles
Whilst we will use these vehicles, not the traditional hearse, they are still bespoke and professionally equipped vehicles. Don’t accept rusty old estate cars or people carries please, they are completely unnecessary as there are so many professional alternatives! The van on the right in this picture, in the company handyman’s company vehicle. We definitely will NOT be using this. However it might be helpful to see the level of equipment that we have at our disposal, in order to serve you better.
The ashes will be available to you shortly thereafter, directly to you (the client) from the crematorium.
We will ensure the correct documents are obtained and delivered to the crematorium.
Our charge for this service is £2000.00
We are still governed by our compliance with the NAFD Funeral Directors Code.
