Just Direct Cremation

Just Direct Cremation

• The funeral service at the crematorium can be very upsetting for some families.
• An increasing number of families choose a private cremation with a memorial service afterwards or at a later date.
• In the modern world, families are scattered across the country and world. This means getting together at the same time is problematic.
• Direct cremation keeps costs to a minimum.
• The departed loved one did not want a funeral ceremony.
  

What Is Included?

• Transport from the place of death to our Chapel of Rest (within 15 miles radius of our Head Office).
• Overtime fees may apply if out of office hours.
• Cremation fees.
• Doctors’ fees (if applicable).
• A simple oak veneered coffin.
• No viewing of the deceased available. This can be provided for an additional cost.
• Hearse to our local crematorium on a date and time chosen by Thomas Furber and Co. No minister or priest, no funeral service and no mourners.
• Cremated remains are usually available within 24 hours (weekends not included) for collection from us. Or the ashes can be scattered in the Gardens Of Remembrance at the Crematorium.
• Unfortunately, we are unable to post cremated remains. Royal Mail and couriers will not take any responsibility. For £150.00, we can deliver directly to your door. Please ask us for a quote.
• No Mourners, no service, direct and simple.

Our ‘Just Direct Cremation’ has no ceremony. However, before or afterwards, we can assist in guiding your family to celebrate their life in a memorable way to help you remember them, with their cremated remains present or not.

Please remember and understand that Direct Cremation means that the deceased is taken directly to the crematorium and cremated (disposed) with no service or mourners present. If someone attends to say goodbye, then it becomes a funeral and will incur additional costs.

• Is this something I really want rather than a traditional funeral?
• What are my own religious or non-religious beliefs about funerals?
• Do I believe that our spirit passes on and our body is just a mortal shell left behind?
• Would my family prefer to have a memorial service without attending the cremation?

Discuss this carefully with your family and friends to see that this is the right choice.
