Direct Cremation We offer both Unattended and Attended Direct Cremations because we want to make sure you have every possible option to keep costs down, while still providing a really lovely, suitable farewell for your loved one. The Attended Service We recognise that for a lot of people, a completely unattended service can feel just a little bit too abrupt. That’s why we’re big believers in the ‘Attended Direct Cremation.’ Think of it as a thoughtful middle ground that’s designed to give you that essential sense of closure. This option allows a small group of family or close friends, usually around 10 to 12 people, to gather in our private chapel for an unhurried service, which you can run yourself, or with the help of an appointed celebrant. We can even provide a buffet to hold an intimate wake in the same room. There is no formality, but there is time. You’ll have time to play a favourite piece of music, time to say a final private prayer, or simply time to stand together in a moment of quiet reflection as the coffin is with you in the chapel. Many of the families we help find this short period of being together incredibly healing; it marks that ‘moment of goodbye’ without the added pressure or the high expense of a full-scale service. It’s a gentle, intimate way to honour a life, making sure that even though the service is simple, the departure is shared by the people who mattered most. The Unattended Service An unattended direct cremation is a modern and very respectful choice, especially for those who might prefer a simpler departure without the formality of a full chapel service. You’ve probably seen the slick TV adverts from big national companies or spoken to their distant call centres, but choosing a local, independent family like ours makes a huge difference. With us, your loved one stays right here in our care in the South East. They aren’t just transported away to a highvolume regional hub somewhere else; they stay with people you can actually talk to. We handle every single detail with the exact same professional standards we’d use for a traditional funeral. By skipping the formal costs of a hearse, limousines, and chapel time, we’re able to provide a service that is much more affordable than a traditional funeral. It gives you that vital peace of mind, knowing exactly who is looking after your loved one, with a friendly, local face right here to answer your questions and even return the ashes to you personally. It’s a quiet, fuss-free way to say goodbye that never compromises on dignity.
