Direct Cremation

A simple choice, with thoughtful care.

£1,250 — including our professional services and standard cremation fees

Some people prefer things to be simple. No formal ceremony, no unnecessary fuss, just the reassurance that everything will be taken care of with kindness, dignity and respect.

Our Direct Cremation service offers a straightforward and affordable choice for those who do not wish to have a traditional funeral.

Although there is no funeral ceremony or chapel-of-rest visit, the care we provide is never any less personal or attentive.

Because choosing something simple should never mean compromising on the care you receive.

How does Direct Cremation work?

When the time comes, we will bring you or your loved one into our care from home or hospital, returning to our funeral home on Antrobus Street in Congleton.

Here, we will look after the person entrusted to us with the same compassion and respect that we give to everyone in our care.

We will take care of the necessary arrangements and paperwork and provide a suitable standard coffin.

The cremation will take place at a local crematorium without a formal funeral service or family attendance.

Following the cremation, we will arrange for the ashes to be returned to the family.

What’s included?

• Collection from home or hospital into our care.

• Care at our local funeral home in Congleton.

• A suitable standard coffin.

• All necessary funeral arrangements and paperwork.

• An unattended cremation at a local crematorium, including standard cremation fees.

• The return of ashes to the family.

Our Direct Cremation service costs £1,250.

Alternative coffin choices can be arranged at an additional cost. Where a larger or specially strengthened coffin is necessary, an additional charge may apply. We will always explain any additional costs before arrangements are confirmed.

Your wishes matter

If you would prefer not to have a traditional funeral service, Direct Cremation offers a simple and dignified choice.

Your family can still remember you, celebrate your life and come together in whatever way feels right for them.

And if you would like your family to have the opportunity to visit and say goodbye before the cremation, you may wish to consider our Direct Cremation Plus service.

The same compassion. The same dignity. Always.
