We offer two types of direct cremation:
Discreet Cremation
A discreet cremation is the most economical type of funeral available and covers the fundamental elements only.
There is no ceremonial service and mourners do not attend the crematorium chapel.
The deceased will be brought into our care at our mortuary facilities in Dover, laid to rest in a basic coffin and transferred to a local crematorium by means of a discreet private ambulance at a date and time selected by us as soon as the statutory paperwork has been completed.
We will collect the ashes on the clients behalf if required.
Direct Cremation
A direct cremation is much like the discreet cremation, however it incorporates certain traditional elements.
There is no ceremonial service and mourners do not attend at the crematorium chapel, however we will use our traditional hearse to transfer the deceased to the crematorium accompanied by the funeral director and funeral operatives. The coffin will be carried on shoulders in the usual dignified manner.
You will be informed of the date and time.
Coffin upgrades are available at an additional cost.
You may wish to be present within the grounds of the crematorium to witness the coffin entering the chapel.
A webcast streaming service is also available at an additional cost for those who wish to witness the committal.
Please note that unlike other direct cremation providers, we operate locally and only use local crematoriums. We also facilitate a one-off chapel visit to view the deceased if desired.
For more information about our direct cremations, please contact us.
A private cremation (also known as an attended direct cremation) is a fair priced alternative to a traditional funeral, which enables a small number of mourners to attend the crematorium chapel for a short period of private reflection with accompanying music, however there is no minister or celebrant present and no ceremonial service.
Private Cremation = from £2,595.00

Proud to be part of the community since 1948.
