Intimate Attended
Direct Cremation
A compassionate and intimate farewell service at our Chapel that allows up to 17 family and friends to say goodbye with a personalised remembrance, while respecting the wishes for a direct cremation.
A Compassionate Farewell
When a loved one chooses direct cremation, it can leave family and friends with the sadness of not having the opportunity to say a "proper goodbye."
We understand the importance of creating a meaningful and personal farewell, and we're here to offer a solution that respects both your loved one's wishes for a direct cremation and the need for a final, intimate tribute.
In our small Chapel of Rest, we invite up to 17 people to gather for a peaceful, heartfelt remembrance service by your loved one's coffin.
For larger groups, we can arrange multiple smaller services in succession, ensuring everyone can pay their respects.

Honouring a Life Through Image and Song
Funerals are among the most profound moments in our lives—a time to reflect, to grieve, and above all, to remember. At Rounce Funeral Services, we understand how powerful it can be to celebrate a life through images and music. Our Tribute options bring together treasured photographs and meaningful songs to create a deeply personal and lasting farewell.
The Growing Role of Tributes in Modern Services
In recent years, the use of Tribute slideshows and videos has grown significantly—now featured in over half of all services. These tributes offer families a chance to share their loved one's story in a way that words alone often cannot express. Every life is unique, filled with special moments, relationships, and experiences. Through carefully selected imagery and music, a Tribute can capture that journey and offer comfort to those gathered.
The HOLD Photo:
A Simple, Powerful Tribute
Our HOLD Photo Tribute is our most cherished and widely chosen option. Included at no extra cost in all Intimate Attended Direct Cremation Services, this single-image tribute gently focuses attention on a photograph that holds deep personal meaning—whether it’s a joyful portrait, a moment of reflection, or a scene that brings back fond memories.
A Slideshow to Music: £100
Every Picture Tells a Story -Every Song Holds a Memory
Why Families Choose a Slideshow to Music:
-
A Personal Touch
Families can include up to 25 of their most treasured photos, paired with a meaningful piece of music. The result is a moving, shared moment of reflection that honours the individuality of the person who has died. -
Tailored to Your Wishes
For those wanting a more bespoke option, we can incorporate home videos, extra songs, and custom timing for each image, ensuring every detail reflects your loved one’s story. -
A Keepsake to Treasure
Tributes can be provided as digital downloads or as personalised physical keepsakes, offering families a lasting way to revisit and remember those special memories.
With expert production, music licensing, and full technical support, we take care of every detail - allowing you to focus fully on remembering and honouring your loved one.
If you’d like to include a Slideshow in your service, or simply wish to speak with someone about what’s possible, our team is here for you with compassion and care.
