Arrange a Direct Cremation in Glasgow

If you’re in Glasgow and looking to arrange a direct cremation, Memoria Direct Cremation can help you organise a heartfelt farewell, with cremations starting from just £1,195 and prepaid cremation plans from £1,595.

A direct cremation is a simple cremation without a traditional funeral service, and with no mourners present. The ashes are returned to loved ones after the cremation, and families can choose to hold a separate memorial at a time and place that feels right for them.

Whether you need to make arrangements now for someone who has passed away, or would like the peace of mind of planning ahead, our experienced team is here to guide you with care, clarity and respect.

Please call us on 0800 007 3921.

Funeral financial assistance in your area

The Scottish Government’s Funeral Support Payment helps families across Scotland with some of the costs of arranging a funeral.

This support can be put towards funeral expenses for a baby, child or adult. It won’t usually cover the full cost, but can ease the financial pressure by contributing towards certain fees and services. The payment may be made directly to you, or to the funeral director handling the arrangements.

    No, a direct cremation is unattended, which means there is no service held at the crematorium. Many families choose to hold a separate memorial or celebration of life at a later date. Rest assured we treat those in our care with the utmost respect, with our chapel attendant bowing a respectful goodbye to every single coffin.
