Important to Know: Attended Cremation Options

To maintain affordability and simplicity, a direct cremation differs from a traditional funeral in several ways. These are the elements typically not included:

While a direct cremation does not include a ceremony at the crematorium, we understand that some families wish to be present. We offer options for friends and family to attend a short, quiet time with their loved one at our crematorium.

The coffin will be placed in the room before your arrival.
There is no Funeral Director or celebrant present, and no formal service.
You are welcome to play your favourite music or deliver a reading.
You may bring flowers to place on the coffin.

Pricing for Attended Cremation Options:

From £395 in our Oak Room (for up to 12 people).
From £745 in our Ceremonial Hall (for up to 100 people).
From £995 at any crematorium we partner with.

PLEASE NOTE: If your loved one needs to be collected from their home rather than a hospital, an additional collection charge of £255 applies.
