What is a Direct Cremation?
A direct cremation is a straightforward cremation that happens without anyone present.
They can be arranged immediately if required or purchased in advanced as a plan to provide assurance when the time comes.
The ashes can be scattered by us in the crematorium’s gardens for free or returned if preferred.
More people are choosing direct cremation because it offers simplicity and flexibility.
It allows people to mark the occasion in their own way, whether quiet reflection or a more personal gathering later on.
