We’ve provided direct cremations since 2015

“We have always believed that there should be low-cost, affordable options for those who have lost a loved one. Funerals do not need all of the extras and frills, and instead you could combine a direct cremation with a life celebration of your choosing afterwards.”

Low-Cost Direct Cremations in Queensferry, Chester and across The Wirral.

A ceremony or celebration of life can then be held separately, if you choose to do so. The ashes are then returned to the family, or can be scattered by our team.

What is a direct cremation?

Often called a ‘no-fuss funeral’, direct cremation is an alternative to a traditional funeral, where a cremation takes place at a crematorium without any mourners present.

How does a Direct Cremation Service Work?

Call us or use our contact form

On receipt of your call we will advise you on the next stages in order to proceed with our services.

We bring your loved one into our care

Immediately from any non-hospital location, or from any Chester hospital within 2 days of the paperwork being completed. Your loved one will be prepared and cared for at our Chapel of rest.

The cremation is arranged and we advise you of the date and time of committal

We will arrange, collate and send you the documents for signing via secure courier which you return to us. Once the committal has been booked, we notify you of the date and time it will take place so you can have a moment of reflection.

The committal takes place in a local crematorium

On the day, your loved one will be escorted to the crematorium by our uniformed staff in our specially adapted funeral vehicle. You can choose to have one piece of music played during the committal.

You receive the ashes within 28 days

We return the ashes to you via tracked courier, or they will be ready for you to collect from our funeral home, within 28 days. A member of our team can hand deliver the ashes for an additional fee if you wish.
