For many people this will be the first time they have arranged a funeral. We understand it is an emotional time, so from the moment you get in touch, we will be by your side to listen to what you need and guide you through each step. Your arranger will look after you from beginning to end, always just a phone call or text away.
We’ll arrange collection and ensure your loved one is cared for with dignity and respect at every stage.
If your loved one is resting in a hospital or a place with mortuary facilities, collection is included in our standard fee. However in the cases where the deceased is at home we need to organise an immediate collection (this incurs an additional charge).
For the majority of families, the cremation will take place at one of our own Memoria crematoria. Where this is not practically possible, we work with a trusted partner. We use a quality wood coffin, and the cremation will always be carried out with the utmost dignity and respect.
When the cremation is complete, you can choose what feels right, having the ashes returned in a simple urn, hand delivered to you, or scattered in our gardens of remembrance.
A direct cremation is a simple, no fuss funeral, at a crematorium, but without any family or friends in attendance. There is no service. This removes traditional funeral directors’ fees, hearses and expenses like flowers or celebrants, it is a straightforward option that keeps costs low without compromising on care.
This approach is less expensive than an attended funeral and allows you the space and freedom to remember your loved one in your own way. A Memoria Direct Cremation could save you up to £3,000 against a traditional attended funeral*.
*In 2024 an increase of 3.5% in the average cost of a simple attended funeral, took the cost to a new all-time high of £4,285.
