Private cremation
A private cremation is also known as a direct cremation and is for those who do not wish to have a traditional attended funeral service.
How does a direct cremation work?
A direct cremation, is a cremation service without a formal funeral service or any mourners present. It's a more affordable and simpler alternative to traditional cremation or burial, focusing on the cremation process itself rather than a formal ceremony.
You will be informed of the date the cremation will take place and the location; our direct cremations are always at a local crematorium unless it is requested elsewhere.
