What is a Direct Cremation?

A direct cremation is a simple, unattended funeral service. It involves a cremation arranged at a time chosen by us, without a formal ceremony or gathering at the crematorium.

This option is the most affordable type of funeral we provide. For families who would prefer a more traditional service, including a ceremony and mourners present, our traditional funerals may be a more suitable choice.

Why Families Choose Direct Cremation

There are many reasons as to why a direct funeral may be the most suitable option.

For example, the deceased may have no surviving family, the family may prefer to have a celebration away from the crematorium, and sometimes people just can’t face a funeral service at all.

Whatever your reasons for choosing this type of service, we are here to provide you with emotional support throughout the process.

Bereavement Support

At Arthur Peake & Sons, we understand that the grieving process does not end with the funeral arrangements. As members of SAIF Care, we also provide bereavement counselling and guidance to help during this difficult time. Our caring staff are always here to listen, advise, and support you.
