What is a direct cremation and how is it different from a traditional funeral?
A direct cremation is an unattended cremation without a funeral service or mourners present. It allows families to say goodbye privately and hold a personal memorial later if they wish. This option is both affordable and respectful, removing some of the pressures of organising a traditional service.
Where does the cremation take place?
Cremations are arranged at trusted local crematoria serving Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. These facilities uphold high standards of professionalism and care, ensuring your loved one is treated with dignity throughout.
Can families attend the cremation?
Direct cremations are unattended, meaning family and friends do not attend the ceremony itself. However, families commonly hold memorial services or celebrations of life afterwards in a way that feels meaningful to them.
How soon can the cremation be arranged, and when are ashes returned?
Once all legal paperwork is completed, cremations can typically be scheduled within a few days. Ashes are usually ready within 7 to 10 days and can be collected or delivered locally to suit your needs.
