Frequently Asked Questions
Is an unattended cremation different from a traditional funeral?
Yes. An unattended or direct cremation takes place without a service or mourners present. It’s a simpler, lower-cost option chosen by many St Ives families who wish to remember their loved one in a more personal way later. It keeps the process private and dignified.
Can I still hold a memorial afterwards?
Absolutely. Many families plan a small gathering or celebration of life once ashes are returned. This can take place at home, in a garden, or somewhere special in St Ives. We can advise on keepsakes or scattering locations if you’d like guidance.
Where does the cremation take place?
Our St Ives direct cremations are carried out at trusted local crematoria within Cambridgeshire. Each facility is selected for its high standards of care and professionalism. Your loved one is always looked after by our team throughout the process.
How soon will I receive the ashes?
Ashes are usually ready within 7–10 days of the cremation. We’ll let you know as soon as they’re available and arrange collection or hand delivery at a time that suits you. Everything is handled with care and respect.
