What a direct cremation is

A direct cremation is a respectful cremation carried out without a wake or a ceremony. There are no days of prayers, no public viewing and no large gathering. The deceased is collected, cared for and cremated quietly, with the dignity that every person deserves.

Families choose a direct cremation for many reasons. Some prefer simplicity over a formal service. Some are following the wishes of the one who has passed, who asked for something quiet and unhurried. Others may hold a private memorial of their own later, at a time and place that feels right for them.

Even though there is no wake, a direct cremation still includes everything that matters: the collection of your loved one, all the documentation, and the cremation itself. Nothing is rushed and nothing is treated as routine. We handle each step with the same care we bring to a full funeral.

If you would prefer a wake

A direct cremation suits families who want something quiet and uncomplicated. If you would rather hold a wake, with prayers, a gathering and a proper send off, that is just as easily arranged. You can see the full range on our packages and pricing page.

We also arrange services according to faith and custom, whether Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or Catholic. If you are unsure which is right for your family, one call to our hotline and we will talk it through with you, with no pressure either way.
