Our crematoria are beautiful places to pause, reflect and remember a life well lived. So even though you may prefer a direct cremation without a service, our crematoria are still available for you to consider for memorialisation, whether that’s simply to scatter the ashes in our memorial gardens, or something more lasting like a natural memorial, rosebush or tree, or something more traditional like a plaque or memorial bench.
Memoria Direct Cremation is part of the Memoria Group, which is one of the UK’s leading funeral providers and crematoria operators, with a network of modern and award-winning crematoria across England, Scotland and Wales.
