At Telford Direct Cremation
We understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is a deeply
personal and meaningful experience. While a direct cremation provides a simple and cost-effective way to handle the cremation process, many families choose to honour their loved one with a memorial service. This approach allows you to create a heartfelt farewell that reflects the individual’s life and legacy, at a time and place that best suits you.
Why Choose a Memorial Cremation?
Flexibility
Plan the memorial at a time and location that is convenient for family and friends.
Personalisation
Create a farewell that truly reflects your loved one’s personality and
wishes.
Cost-Effective
Reduce the expenses associated with traditional funerals while still holding a meaningful tribute.
Less Stress
Separating the cremation from the memorial allows families more time to plan a personal and thoughtful tribute.
