How does a Direct Cremation Work?

A Direct Cremation is a straightforward, dignified service that complies with all UK legal requirements. In this process, the deceased is transported to an accredited crematorium and is cremated without a formal service or attendance. All necessary documentation—including death certificates and authorisations—is carefully managed, ensuring that every legal and procedural step is followed.

This service is designed to provide a respectful farewell without the additional elements of a traditional funeral. By focusing solely on the essential aspects of the cremation process, it offers families a simple, no-fuss option during a challenging time.
