Direct Cremation

with a local independent Funeral Director

£1995

The increasingly popular “Direct Cremation” involves an unattended cremation with a basic coffin. Sounds simple? If you dig a little deeper, there may be elements to this type of package that you hadn’t considered.

Unlike many other direct cremation plans, our plan aims to create a more comprehensive and caring experience for your family when you die, by offering the following benefits:

  • The Funeral Director will select the crematorium. But we guarantee that it will be in your local area, within an agreed timeframe. This way you are not kept in storage for long periods, nor being transported long distances around the country. It also ensures that local economies are supported.
  • Care, preparation, and family viewings in the Chapel of Rest are included with our plan. This can be an important consideration for grieving family and friends.
  • We include 24-hour collection. This is within a local area designated by your Funeral Director. No extra charges will be incurred for this at time of need.
  • Your Funeral Director will use a local crematorium at a date/time suitable to them. They will inform your family on the location/date/time of the cremation. This way they can think of you or have a toast to you in that moment.

  • Fees for the initial administration and ongoing management of your Funeral Plan (£295 non-refundable)
