Cremation services can entail lots of different things, with crematoriums offering a variety of options to give your loved one a fitting send-off.

Whether it’s a direct cremation or a traditional cremation with a service, you can choose what you want and what you feel is right for your loved one.

At We Are Direct Cremations, we understand that dealing with the practicalities of the death of a loved one can be challenging, particularly at such an emotional time.

It’s why we make our process as simple as possible, so you have one less thing to worry about.

What Cremation Services Are There?

There are two main options when it comes to cremations in the UK – direct cremations and traditional cremations.

The cremation process in the UK begins with the arrival of the body at the crematorium. It’s entirely your decision whether you have a service attached to it, whether you select a memorial plot, or whether you hold a memorial service at a later date.

A traditional cremation includes a funeral service, which means that once the cremation process has taken place, the ashes are return to you, the family, or scattered and buried as part of the service. 

We have a picturesque setting here at Chase and District Memorial Park that includes a memorial garden, and you can speak to us about arranging a memorial plot.

What Is A Direct Cremation?

A direct cremation allows you the flexibility to choose a memorial or fitting service that suits you and your family at a time that suits you.

At We Are Direct Cremations, the direct cremation process works like this:

1. You get in touch with us and let us know what you want.
2. We collect your loved one.
3. We carry out the cremation, which can be done either with or without you in attendance.
4. We return the ashes to you in just a few days OR if you wish, we can scatter them in our beautiful memorial park.
5. You hold the send-off or memorial service that reflects your loved one, without any restrictions.

Direct cremations have increased in popularity in recent years because of several reasons but the main two are that it’s much cheaper than a traditional funeral and it allows much more flexibility.

It gives you the time and space to plan something that you feel really reflects who they were as a person, with no time pressure placed upon you. 

And when it comes to cost, funerals can be a costly option for many. But with Direct Cremations starting at just £1050, that’s much cheaper than the £4,000 starting point for most traditional funeral services.

In recent years, direct cremations have gained popularity as a cost-effective and convenient alternative to traditional funeral services.

They offer a simple and respectful way to say goodbye to a loved one without the added pressure of planning an elaborate event.
