Direct Cremation – £1,695

Dressing

It is not essential to provide clothes, as we use a soft coffin sheet to gently wrap the body, minimising movement for comfort. Should you wish to send a specific outfit, a £75 dressing fee applies.

Private Family Time

Our modern mortuary is a clinical, private environment. If families wish to spend private time together, we can arrange a chapel of a local church for peaceful reflection at an additional fee of £295.
