What’s Included?

We will arrange an unattended cremation and inform you of the date and time of when the cremation will take place. Like a traditional funeral service, we will be responsible for making sure the necessary paperwork is completed, caring for your loved one up until their cremation, including preparation and transport to the crematorium, as well as the safe return of their ashes.

Why Choose Howard Chadwick Funeral Service for your Direct Cremation Funeral

Our dedicated and empathetic funeral arrangers at Howard Chadwick Funeral Service will look after you and your family throughout the direct cremation process.

You will be in touch with the same person throughout the arrangements and if you are local to our funeral home, you can arrange a face-to face visit or we can arrange a home visit. This is where our service differs from some Direct Cremation providers without local Funeral Homes, suitable premises or experienced funeral arrangers to support you during the arrangement.

We will collect your loved one and transport them in our modern specialist ambulance to your funeral home of choice.

Your loved one will rest in our modern facilities, where you can arrange to visit your loved one at our private chapel of rest.

Our team will keep you informed and answer any questions or queries you may have regarding direct cremations; this will include the time and date the cremation is taking place. You have the option to dress your loved one in their own clothes.

After the cremation, when you are ready, you can arrange with our team to collect your loved one’s ashes, at one of our local funeral homes. We can also arrange for the ashes to be sent to you.

An unattended cremation has no formal funeral service and the cremation is usually unattended, leaving you to say goodbye to your loved on in your own way. Once you receive your Loved One’s ashes, you have the freedom to arrange a personal memorial at a time and location which best suits your family.

Our team of friendly arrangers and Funeral Directors have years of experience working with local families to arrange funerals. Please speak to one of the team if you need any bereavement support.

Our phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
