What is a Direct Cremation?
A Direct Cremation is an alternative to the traditional funeral. This involves the cremation of the deceased without a funeral service. A Direct Cremation is generally the most economic option because costs of the coffin, preparation of the body, funeral service and expensive transportation are not included. However, many people choose Direct Cremations for reasons other than expense, for example:
- - Wanting to have a memorial at a different time to the cremation
- - Expressed desire from the deceased to not have a ceremony
- - Individuals with relatives who face big physical or geographical challenges in coming together for a ceremony
The prices quoted for Direct Cremations include:
- All charges, meetings and paperwork for the cremation
- Collection of deceased and care prior to cremation
- A simple coffin and urn for the ashes
- Cremation fees and delivery of ashes to the family
