DIRECT CREMATION

If you are choosing a direct cremation service we are here to help you every step of the way.  You deal with us in person and your loved one is cared for in the exact same way as any service we undertake. 

No place like home

Our direct cremation service is a local, softer alternative to the big national providers.

You deal with Katie and Rob in the same way as any of our services, and your loved one is cared for in the exact same way.  

We offer more options than you are allowed with the national providers; everything is done locally.  This means you have us with you throughout the process and the chance to say goodbye in a personal and caring way.

A direct cremation is a valid and personal choice, and we offer a service that still gives closure to a family in the same way we exceed expectations for a traditional service.

THE PROCESS

01

In your initial call, we will assess your needs and identify if you require urgent support, such as in the case of a death at home or in a nursing home. We will then offer the assistance and guidance you need, ensuring you understand the next steps to take.

02

If you formally instruct us to act as your funeral director, we will need to take some details from you so we can bring your loved one into our care at our funeral home in Preston, Paignton.  When your loved one is brought into our care we make sure they are comfy and dignified.

03

We will help and guide you regarding the Medical Examiner, Coroner, and the registration process. The only thing we cannot do on your behalf is register the death. We will discuss all of your options and choices and arrange a date.

04

We will collect the ashes for you on your behalf and keep them safe with us awaiting your decisions.  You also have the option to have the ashes scattered on the Garden of Remembrance at Torquay Crematorium.

Direct cremation is the only "package" service we provide, so it is priced very differently, with everything included.

That said, we will always allow a family to add additional choices and options should they wish to. This is your goodbye, and who are we to restrict what you choose?

We believe when it comes to caring for someone, especially with a direct cremation, there's no place like home.

Below you will see everything we include, including our payment terms and costs.
