Direct Cremation, we can help

Direct Cremation is becoming an increasingly popular funeral service option. Such a service is low in cost, is simple, and allows the option of a celebration of life or memorial service at a later date.

However, there are many concerns regarding such services. Some online services are impersonal, you have no knowledge who is caring for your loved one, and you may not get the chance to say a proper goodbye. Accordingly, we always recommend that you use a funeral director who you know and trust. Most funeral directors now provide a direct (unattended) service.

The Natural Burial Company can also provide this service for you. As a company dedicated to caring for the environment we have concerns regarding cremation. However, we appreciate that for many reasons you may wish for a cremation, so we help to mitigate environmental damage by planting three trees for each cremation we arrange. These trees are a minimum 2 metres in height, not whips, and are planted at our natural burial grounds to help provide a beautiful place to visit and remember. Whilst also encouraging nature and ensuring a natural legacy. All services are arranged and conducted by our own dedicated team, and respect and care is of the highest standard, exactly the same as our Family Led Services.

After the direct unattended cremation we then arrange a Celebration of Life, Memorial, or Traditional Funeral Service, for the interment of the cremated remains on a day and time of your choosing. Ensuring that you, family, and friends, are able to say goodbye in your own, personal, way. This interment can include an officiant, music, and even a picnic if you wish. There are also no time constraints.

Whilst caring for you, your loved one, and the environment, we also ensure that our Direct (unattended) Cremation Service with Natural Interment of Cremated Remains is extremely cost effective. This fully inclusive service includes local Removal into our Care, a Jute or Cardboard Coffin, a Gown or Dressing in Own Clothes, and Care in Hygienic Conditions until the day of the Cremation. A Direct Unattended Cremation. An Interment Service at the Natural Burial Ground, Three Trees, and a Slate Memorial Plaque. The total cost of all of the above is £1,995. You can also arrange a Celebrant, Bamboo or Willow Cremated Remains Casket, and Shelter and Chairs for additional cost if you wish.
