    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

    Attended funeral

    This is Funeral Choice’s best estimate of this Funeral Director’s fees for an Attended Funeral, which is where family and friends have a ceremony or service for the deceased person at the same time as they attend their burial or cremation.

    This price includes the following:

    • Taking care of all necessary legal and administrative arrangements
    • Collecting and transporting the deceased person from the place of death (normally within 15 miles of the funeral director’s premises) into the funeral director’s care
    • Care of the deceased person before the funeral in appropriate facilities.
    • Providing a suitable coffin
    • Optional viewing of the deceased person for family and friends, by appointment with the funeral director
    • At a date and time you agree with the funeral director, taking the deceased person direct to the agreed cemetery or crematorium (normally within 20 miles of the funeral director’s premises) in a hearse or other appropriate vehicle

    In addition to the Funeral Director’s fee, there will be third party costs to consider (sometimes called disbursements) to cover the other aspects of a funeral (such as the crematorium or burial fees). Your chosen Funeral Director will be able to provide these for you.

    Unattended funeral

    This is Funeral Choice’s best estimate of this Funeral Director’s fees and the crematorium fee for an Unattended Funeral, which is where family and friends may choose to have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person, but they do not attend the burial or cremation itself. This is also known as a Direct Cremation.

    This price includes the following:

    • Funeral Director's fees
    • Crematorium fee (for an unattended funeral) as selected by the Funeral Director

    In addition to this fee, there might be additional third party costs to consider (sometimes called disbursements). Your chosen Funeral Director will be able to explain these for you.

    If you wish to attend the funeral, you should view the “Attended Funeral” price instead.
