Direct Cremation Services

The Funeral Director industry associations require members to offer a basic cremation-only funeral, or Direct Funeral, with a given specification as part of their code of practice.

However, a recent Which? survey revealed that many funeral directors choose not to offer Direct Cremation unless specifically requested.

We are one of the few funeral directors in Brighton who, for transparency and integrity, ensure you are aware of all funeral service options. Direct Cremation is especially suitable for those seeking a simple and low-cost funeral option.

Our ‘Unattended Direct Cremation’ is an affordable alternative to traditional funerals, separating the ceremony from the cremation. Families are free to arrange a memorial or celebration of life service away from the crematorium and at their convenience.
