Simple Arrangements Without a Formal Service
This service is designed for families who do not require mourners to attend the crematorium. It keeps the arrangements straightforward while ensuring your loved one is treated with the same dignity, professionalism and care as every person entrusted to us.
There is no separate crematorium fee to add to the £1,395 package price. Any separate memorial, burial of ashes, floral tribute or other service requested later would be discussed and quoted independently.
