TYPES OF FUNERAL
Direct Cremation
A simple, unattended cremation with no service, carried out with the same care as any funeral we conduct — and the ashes returned to you.
Direct Cremation is a simple and dignified choice where your loved one is cremated without a formal service or ceremony—also known as an unattended cremation. This affordable option can save families between £2,000 and £3,500 compared to traditional funeral costs in Rotherham. The all-inclusive price starts from £1,420, making it one of the most cost-effective alternatives.
This option suits those who prefer a straight-forward cremation, avoiding the structure of a traditional service. The process includes collection of the deceased during office hours, a standard coffin, all third-party costs, and cremated remains either scattered in the Garden of Remembrance or collected by the funeral director. An additional fee applies for collections outside of office hours.
Direct cremation allows families to hold private ceremonies or use savings for a memorial, offering more flexibility. It’s a suitable choice for those who want a no-fuss cremation, wish to celebrate life in their own way, or have no close family. This option is ideal for both religious and non-religious preferences, while still maintaining quality and personal service.
