THE CARE INCLUDED
Care throughout
the arrangement.
The service includes respectful care and preparation, a cotton shroud, registration/document advice and an individual unattended cremation at a crematorium and time chosen by the provider.
Cardboard and wood-effect coffin upgrades can be discussed separately. For someone over 15 stone, a strong HD coffin adds £200. For someone over 25 stone, a specialist coffin typically costs £250–£350; the exact cost is confirmed after measurements. Larger-size requirements may also need additional personnel or a larger vehicle; discuss any required larger coffin (over 6’ x 22″) and the full quotation with the team. Please discuss these needs before agreeing the arrangements so suitability and any additional cost can be settled.
Viewing, embalming, a church or graveside service, newspaper announcements and family flowers are not included in the unattended package. Interment of ashes is a separate arrangement at additional cost; explore the ashes options.
Before collection can take place
Collection from a home or care home can be arranged after a medical professional has confirmed the death. If the coroner is involved, the appropriate authority must be given before collection into our care.
For collection outside the stated hospital-package areas, please request an individual price.
PAYMENT
Before the cremation.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or debit/credit card. The necessary documents and cleared funds are required before cremation. These payment arrangements apply to a cremation now or in the near future.
