Dignity Without Complexity
What is Direct Cremation?
A direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation without a service at the crematorium. It allows you to say goodbye in a way that feels right for your family — whether that’s a private gathering at home, a scattering in a meaningful place, or a celebration of life at a later date.
Your loved one is cared for with dignity throughout, and their ashes are returned to you, giving you time to arrange a farewell that truly reflects who they were.
