Direct Cremation in Vauxhall for £895
Our standard £895 direct cremation price includes the cremation itself and the crematorium fee. It is not simply a charge for taking your loved one to the crematorium.
Where the standard service applies, the price covers the professional arrangements and care of your loved one, a simple coffin, transfer to the crematorium and the fee charged for the unattended cremation.
There is no traditional funeral service attended by family and friends at the crematorium. The cremation takes place privately, and you can choose to remember your loved one separately in a way and at a time that feels right for your family.
We know funeral pricing can sometimes be difficult to understand, so we have set out below exactly what happens and what the £895 standard price covers.
If your circumstances require anything outside the standard service, we will explain this and any additional cost before arrangements proceed.
What the £895 Standard Price Includes
The standard price covers the funeral arrangements through to the unattended cremation itself. There is no separate crematorium fee to add to the £895 standard price.
Professional Care and Arrangements
We manage the practical funeral arrangements and your loved one remains in professional care while everything needed for the cremation is completed.
A Simple Coffin
A suitable simple coffin is provided as part of the standard direct cremation service.
Transfer to the Crematorium
We arrange for your loved one to be taken from our care to the crematorium for the direct cremation.
The Cremation and Crematorium Fee
The unattended cremation itself is included in the £895 standard price, including the crematorium fee.
Includes the cremation itself and the crematorium fee where the standard service applies. Any additional requirements will be explained before you proceed.
What Actually Happens?
Most direct cremation arrangements follow the same broad stages. We handle the practical details and keep you informed as the arrangements progress.
You Contact Us
We start by understanding what has happened, where your loved one currently is and whether there are any circumstances that need different arrangements.
Your Loved One Comes Into Our Care
Where the standard service applies, arrangements are made for your loved one to be brought into our care at our funeral home in Worcester.
Care and Preparation
Your loved one is professionally cared for while the necessary arrangements are completed and the simple coffin is prepared for the cremation.
The Cremation Takes Place
Your loved one is transferred to the crematorium and the unattended cremation takes place. The cremation and the crematorium fee are already included in the standard £895 price.
Professional Care Throughout the Arrangements
Direct cremation is simpler than a traditional funeral, but it still involves professional funeral care and proper arrangements before the cremation takes place.
Once your loved one is in our care, we take responsibility for the practical arrangements leading up to the cremation. This includes professional care, preparation of a suitable simple coffin and arranging the transfer to the crematorium.
We will also explain anything we need from you and keep the process straightforward. If you are unsure about a document, decision or next step, our team is available to help.
The standard £895 service continues through to the unattended cremation itself; the crematorium fee is not an extra charge on top of that standard price.
What Makes Direct Cremation Different?
The main difference is that there is no traditional funeral ceremony at the crematorium for family and friends to attend. The cremation itself still takes place as part of the service.
No Traditional Service at the Crematorium
Family and friends do not attend a traditional funeral ceremony at the crematorium. The cremation takes place privately as an unattended cremation.
Remember Them in Your Own Way
If you wish, you can arrange a memorial, gathering or celebration of life separately, without having to organise it around the cremation itself.
You Still Have Someone to Speak To
Choosing a simpler funeral does not mean dealing with the arrangements alone. Our team can explain the process and answer questions as they arise.
What Happens Afterwards?
Once the cremation has taken place, we will explain the arrangements available for your loved one's ashes and any next steps you need to consider.
Your Loved One's Ashes
We will explain the options available for your loved one's ashes after the cremation. Hand delivery to an address in England or Wales can also be arranged as an additional service.
A Memorial Can Be Held Separately
Some families choose to hold a memorial, gathering or celebration of life later. Direct cremation allows this to be arranged separately from the cremation itself.
You do not need to have every decision made when you first contact us. We can explain the relevant options as the arrangements progress.
When the £895 Standard Price Applies
£895 is our standard direct cremation price and includes the cremation and crematorium fee. Some circumstances require additional arrangements, which we will explain before you proceed.
Collection from Home
Where a death occurs at a private home or nursing home and the coroner is not involved, a local third-party funeral director may be needed for the initial transfer. This is charged separately.
Specialist Requirements
Additional personnel, specialist equipment or an oversized coffin may result in further costs. In some circumstances we may not be able to provide the service.
Ashes Delivery
Hand delivery of ashes is an additional service. International arrangements can also be discussed where ashes need to be sent overseas.
The possible additional costs above are for circumstances or services outside the standard arrangement. The cremation and crematorium fee themselves are already included in the £895 standard price.
