What happens at a direct cremation?

On the day of the funeral, the coffin will be transported to the crematorium in a non-ceremonial vehicle with several team members accompanying them on their final journey. This normally takes place before 10am or after 4.30pm on a day of our choosing.  An unattended cremation has no formal funeral service, leaving you to say goodbye to your loved one in your own way rather than with a traditional funeral ceremony and mourners present at the crematorium.

With an unattended cremation you can still have a private memorial service or celebration of life that you feel best reflects the wishes of your loved one at an alternative or unusual venue before or after the cremation takes place.

Discuss your requirements with us at Funeral Partners and we can help you decide whether this is the right funeral for your loved one. We can give you more information and organise an unattended cremation service for you.
