Direct Cremation FAQ

A direct cremation is a simple, dignified, and cost-effective option where the cremation takes place without a traditional funeral service, ceremony, or attendees. This allows families to remember their loved ones in a personal way, arranging a memorial or celebration of life at a time and place of their choosing.

Many people choose direct cremation for its simplicity, affordability, and flexibility. It avoids the costs and formalities of a traditional funeral while still providing a dignified farewell. Families can commemorate their loved one in their own way, without the pressure of a formal service

Direct cremation is a more affordable option compared to traditional funerals, as it removes costs associated with a funeral service, venue hire, flowers, and transport. For our current pricing, please contact Telford Direct Cremation.
