Helping you make an informed choice...
Let's talk about Direct Cremation
You've probably noticed recently a significant increase in TV and other media advertising for Direct Cremations. This has awoken a number of pertinent questions...
Our hope is that by raising awareness of the differences between unattended and attended funerals, families will be able to make a more informed choice when the time comes.
There is growing concern that ‘no fuss’ funerals – also known as Direct or Pure Cremations – do not give families the send-off they expected and, for those left behind, there are growing numbers reporting regret that they didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.
As your fully licensed, local and family-owned funeral director we feel it is important that you are aware of exactly what a Direct Cremation entails.
"Very often families just need a simple way to say a quiet goodbye, that doesn't cost the earth"
Paul Shoobridge
