Simple Farewells is a compassionate, modern service dedicated to providing simply attended and direct cremations across the UK. Born out of decades of experience in the funeral industry and inspired by the values honed in a family business, we understand that every farewell is as unique as the life being celebrated.

Founded by Stephen Box—whose 40 years in the industry have shaped a deep understanding of the needs of grieving families—Simple Farewells offers a dignified, flexible approach to saying goodbye. We focus on delivering a service that is both respectful and personalised, ensuring that every detail is attended with care, without the unnecessary complexities and costs of traditional funerals.

Stephen Box brings over 40 years of experience in the funeral industry, having honed his skills through hands-on roles in his family business. Starting as a Funeral Director assistant, Stephen was immersed in every facet of the service, from arranging and conducting funerals and streamlining administrative practices through to the day-to-day running of the family business.

His commitment to modernising processes and integrating innovative technology ensured that the business evolved to meet contemporary needs. This deep and varied expertise laid the foundation for the compassionate, efficient, and dignified approach that now defines Simple Farewells.
