Unwitnessed Direct Cremation

Direct cremation is a simple and dignified option for those who wish to say goodbye without a formal funeral service. It involves the respectful collection of your loved one, their cremation at a local crematorium, and the return of their ashes to you.

At The Cheshire Cremation Company, we take care of all practical and legal arrangements with care and compassion. Our service includes:

• 24 hour collection from hospital, home, or care facility
• A simple and respectful eco friendly coffin made from strong reinforced cardboard
• Careful preparation and cremation at a local crematorium
• All necessary paperwork and liaison with medical professionals
• Return of ashes by hand within 4 weeks

There is no service, ceremony, or attendees at the cremation, making it ideal for those who prefer privacy or wish to hold a separate memorial at a time and place that feels right.

If you would prefer a traditional wooden coffin, we can arrange this for an additional cost. Just let us know.

If you have any questions before completing your booking, please do not hesitate to contact us.
