EXPRESS CREMATIONS · UNATTENDED CREMATION

Direct cremation.

Room to remember.

We offer a unique Greener Cremation© that is simple, affordable and worry-free. Our low-cost direct cremation service is cost-effective because no family attend the cremation, allowing us to offer a lower fee. Remember them in your own way.

THE ARRANGEMENTS

We are not just a collection service — we care.

Our funeral service is here to assist you at the most difficult of times and to offer advice in a practical but compassionate manner. Our experienced funeral arrangers care for the person who has died and the family, with professional vehicles and uniformed staff.

Family and friends do not attend the cremation itself. When family and work commitments make it difficult to get everyone together, a separate memorial service can take place at a time to suit everyone.

  1. 01

    Start with a conversation

    Tell us what has happened and where the person is being cared for. We will explain the choices and discuss the total price.

  2. 02

    Agree the arrangements

    We guide you through the paperwork and collection. The provider chooses the crematorium and the time of the unattended cremation.

  3. 03

    Choose how to remember

    Discuss your wishes for the ashes and any separate gathering, shared stories or quiet time together.

I just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am with your service from start to finish. I was kept informed every step of the way. The respect shown to me and my late partner gives credit to the name of your company. You were so compassionate and caring all the way through that it helped me in my grief to know you were taking care of both of us Thank you again, PW
