Why Choose a direct cremation

What Happens

A direct cremation in the UK is a simple and cost-effective funeral arrangement that involves the cremation of a deceased person without a traditional funeral service or viewing. This option has become increasingly popular as a more affordable and straightforward alternative to traditional funeral services. Here's how it works:

Transfer of the Deceased: After the person passes away, their body is transferred to the funeral director's facility. There is no embalming or preparation of the body for viewing, which helps reduce costs.
Necessary Documentation: The family or executor of the deceased individual will need to complete the necessary paperwork with the funeral director, including obtaining the death certificate and any other required documentation.
Cremation Process: The person is cremated in a crematorium. The process typically takes place in a simple, basic coffin rather than a traditional coffin. The cremation occurs without any mourners present, and there is no funeral service.
Ashes: After the cremation, the ashes are collected and placed in an urn, which can be returned to the family. Some families may choose to have the ashes scattered or stored in a location of their choice.
Memorial Service (Optional): Families who opt for a direct cremation may choose to hold a memorial service or celebration of life at a later date. This can be a more personalized and flexible event where friends and family gather to remember and honor the deceased.

Key Points to Note:

Direct cremation is typically more affordable than a traditional funeral with a viewing and service because it eliminates many of the associated costs, such as embalming, a casket, and a funeral service.
It offers families the flexibility to plan a memorial service or celebration of life at a time and location of their choosing.
Families who opt for direct cremation can still arrange for the deceased to be dressed and prepared for cremation in a respectful and dignified manner, although there won't be viewing.
While direct cremation may be cost-effective, it may not provide the same level of closure and grieving support as a traditional funeral service.

Direct cremation can be a practical choice for those who prefer a simple, no-frills approach to handling the deceased's remains. It allows families to focus on memorializing their loved one in a way that suits their preferences and budget.
