Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a direct cremation package in Norwich?

Our package covers collection, care, a simple coffin, cremation and assistance with all documentation. Full details and a free quote are provided before arrangements are finalised.

How long does it take to organise a cremation in Norwich?

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

What is the difference between a cremation and a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is a cremation that has no service and no attendees. Those arranging the direct cremation receive the ashes after it has taken place and can choose to memorialise their loved one in any way they prefer.

What happens during a direct cremation?

In a direct cremation, the deceased is treated with dignity and taken to the crematorium, where the cremation occurs without any attendees. The ashes are then returned or handled according to your wishes.
