Intimate Attended Direct Cremation – Private, Personal, Up to 17 Guests
When a loved one chooses direct cremation, families sometimes miss the chance for a meaningful goodbye.
Our Intimate Attended Direct Cremation lets up to 17 close family and friends gather in our private Chapel of Rest for a calm, personalised farewell — music, readings, and visuals included.
Your loved one’s dignity is always our priority, and the service can be tailored to reflect their life, personality, and legacy.
Everything Included in Your Intimate Attended Direct Cremation — £1,950
A private, personal farewell at our chapel for up to 17 family and friends, followed by a dignified direct cremation — all included within a simple, complete price of £1,950.
This offers a more personal and flexible alternative to a traditional crematorium service, which often costs £3,000 or more.
Your loved one will receive the dignity and attention they deserve, while you share a meaningful tribute with music, photos, and readings — followed by a prompt direct cremation with ashes returned within one week.
