What is Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation is a straightforward process where your loved one is cremated without a formal ceremony at the crematorium. This option avoids the traditional funeral service, enabling families to plan their own memorial or celebration of life at a later time, in a location and manner that suits them.

Many families choose direct cremation for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to hold a personal farewell when they are ready. It is a perfect solution for those looking to keep funeral costs low or those who prefer a more private and flexible approach to saying goodbye.

Your loved one will be treated with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the process and safely held within our funeral home.
