    A direct cremation involves the person who has died being respectfully cared for and taken to the crematorium, where the cremation is carried out without any attendees. The ashes are then returned to you, or managed according to your wishes.

    Most cremations are usually arranged within 7 to 10 days of the death being registered, although timings can vary depending on crematorium availability, the completion of paperwork, and your family’s wishes. If you need a little more time, arrangements can often be made to suit your schedule.

    After a cremation, there are a number of memorial options available. These include arrangements for families organising a direct cremation now, as well as for those planning ahead for their own memorial. Our crematoria offer both traditional and living memorials such as trees and rose bushes, or you may choose for ashes to be scattered in our Gardens of Remembrance. The grounds team maintains these gardens throughout the year, and you will always be welcome to visit to spend time and see if this offers a more permanent resting place for you or your loved one.
