Direct Cremation Service

Cremation without a funeral service

A Direct Funeral is a simple and cost-effective funeral provide by N E Downing. The crematorium and date/time of cremation is at our discretion. There is no service as such and no one is able to attend the crematorium so it’s an unattended cremation. The cremated remains will be returned to you in the container the crematorium provides.

This is all done for a fixed price of £1495.00. Payment for this is required in full before the funeral takes place.
