Unlike traditional services, direct cremation eliminates the need for embalming, viewings, or funerals, allowing families to focus on what matters most—honouring their loved one in a way that fits their needs.
Families often choose direct cremation for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility it offers in planning a memorial service at a later date.

Cremation is the process of reducing a body to ashes using high heat. Unlike burial, where the body is interred in the ground, cremation is a more streamlined and often more affordable option. It also provides families with the flexibility to decide what to do with their loved one’s remains, whether it’s keeping them in an urn, scattering them in a meaningful location, or incorporating them into keepsakes.
How Direct Cremation Works
Direct cremation follows a straightforward process that begins with the transportation of the deceased from the place of passing to a cremation facility. Once there, the body is respectfully prepared for cremation. The cremation itself takes place in a specialized chamber where intense heat reduces the body to ashes.
Afterward, the ashes are carefully collected, placed in a basic urn or container, and returned to the family. The entire process is conducted with the utmost professionalism and care to ensure the dignity and respect of the deceased.
How Much Does Direct Cremation Cost?
Direct cremation is an affordable option compared to traditional burial or full-service cremations. The cost typically includes transportation of the body, cremation, and the return of the ashes in a simple container. Unlike traditional funerals, there is no need for embalming, caskets, or a burial plot, significantly reducing expenses.
This straightforward, cost-effective solution provides a simpler approach to end-of-life arrangements.

Legal and Religious Considerations
Each region has specific legal requirements for direct cremation, including necessary permits and certificates. In most cases, authorization from the next of kin and the acquisition of a cremation permit is required before the process can begin.
From a religious perspective, some families may have concerns about how cremation aligns with their beliefs. For example, many Christian denominations, including the Catholic Church, permit cremation, though they may have specific guidelines. When considering direct cremation, it’s always a good idea to consult with a spiritual advisor if there are any religious concerns.

For families choosing direct cremation, memorial services can be held after the ashes are returned, allowing for more flexibility in planning. These services can be as formal or informal as the family wishes, held at home, in a place of worship, or even outdoors in a location significant to the deceased. We also offer partnerships with local venues and celebrants who can assist in planning meaningful memorial services. Additionally, families may choose keepsakes such as urns, jewelry, or other personalized items as a way to honour their loved ones.
