What is a Direct Cremation Funeral

A Direct Cremation, At-Need Cremation or more commonly known as an Unattended Funeral is when a cremation is arranged and carried out without a funeral service taking place beforehand.

 

An unattended funeral is a straightforward process and all the arrangements can be made either online or over the phone with our experienced funeral directors regardless of where you’re located in England and Wales.

 

Once all the paperwork has been completed and returned by post, your funeral director will arrange to collect your relative and arrange the cremation. Following the cremation, your loved one’s ashes will be hand-delivered to you in the weeks that follow.​

Flexible, Suitable & Affordable Funeral Alternative

​

Over the past decade, an increasing number of people have and continue to choose Direct Cremation as an alternative to a traditional funeral for a number of reasons:

 

• Flexibility – An unattended funeral allows a family to arrange a personal and fitting farewell for their loved one at a time and place more appropriate for all to attend and share in a celebration of life.

 

• Suitability – Families sometimes feel that a service that includes the body of the person who has passed away is a traumatic experience that they would rather not participate in.

 

• Affordability – Due to the simplicity, an at-need unattended funeral is extremely cost-effective.

 

Regardless of your reasons for choosing an unattended funeral, the funeral directors at The Direct Way are here to help every step of the way. Our experience and expertise make us perfectly suited to offer expert guidance at this difficult time.
