I provide two distinct direct cremation services:

 

1. Simple direct cremation

Fee from £1,250 + 3rd party costs from £535

Total cost from £1,785

 

My Simple Direct Cremation service has all the essential care and practical elements of a cremation - but without the ceremonial aspects and costs. I can arrange everything over the phone with you or meet you face-to-face.

 

The fee includes:

  • moving your loved one into our care

  • care of your loved one before their cremation*

  • managing the cremation paperwork and all arrangements

  • confirming the time and date of the cremation to you

  • delivery of ashes by hand within Kent or scattering of ashes at the crematorium

 

3rd party costs include:

  • crematorium fees

  • Doctor's Cremation Certificate fees (not always required)

  • a simple eco-coffin

  • a biodegradable ashes scattering tube

2. Direct cremation, with a little farewell gathering beforehand

Fee from £1,700 + 3rd party costs from £535

Total cost from £2,235

 

Although there is no formal funeral ceremony at the crematorium with a direct cremation, I can still meet you and family and friends beforehand either at home, in the grounds of the crematorium or elsewhere, for a simple farewell gathering to say goodbye to your loved one.

  • moving your loved one into our care

Some reasons why some people choose direct cremations:

  • You're planning to hold the ceremony and celebration separately to the cremation

  • You would have planned to have a ceremony but not everyone can be there

  • You live far away

  • You've been told not to spend too much money or make a fuss!

  • You plan to say a fuller goodbye later

  • You simply want to scatter or bury the ashes
