Dignified, personal, respectful direct cremation in Berkhamsted - £1395
What is a direct cremation?
A direct cremation is an unattended funeral with no mourners present at the crematorium. This separates the need to have a cremation from the funeral or celebration of life, giving you more time to plan a gathering of loved ones to say goodbye
Unlike some of the large national providers widely advertised online and in the media, we are a local service based in London and the Home Counties. This means your loved one will remain close by throughout.
Although we specialise in unattended direct cremations, being local allows us to offer a more personal option in Berkhamsted. This includes the opportunity to spend time in the chapel of rest before the cremation, giving you a chance to say a private farewell.
There are many reasons why families choose a direct cremation. Often, it is because they wish to hold a memorial or service at a later date, keeping the cremation separate and allowing more time to plan a fitting occasion.
While our focus is on providing a straightforward and affordable direct cremation service in Berkhamsted, we can also assist with arrangements for cremations in other parts of the country.
As experienced funeral directors in Berkhamsted, we are able to guide you not only with direct cremations but also with future memorial services, ensuring you receive the support you need when the time is right.
