What Makes Our Direct Cremation Different?
Even though direct cremation is a simple service, we ensure it is personal and reflective of your loved one’s life. We offer several personalisation options to make the farewell special:
-
Chapel Visits: Spend time with your loved one in our peaceful chapel of rest before the cremation, allowing for quiet reflection and a private farewell.
-
Personalised Clothing: Choose clothing that reflects your loved one’s personality or holds special meaning.
-
Committal Music: Select a special piece of music to accompany the committal, ensuring a meaningful and emotional touch, even though attendance is not part of direct cremations.
Webcast for Remote Attendance
While direct cremation doesn’t include attendance at the committal, we offer a webcast so family and friends can share in the moment remotely. This ensures that everyone has the opportunity to say their farewells, even if they cannot attend in person.
​
Handling Ashes with Care
Once the cremation is complete, we provide flexible options for the final resting place of your loved one’s ashes:
-
Ash Collection or Local Delivery: You may collect the ashes from our Manchester or Stockport branches, or have them delivered to your home within a 15-mile radius. Charges may apply for deliveries beyond this distance.
-
Scattering or Interment: We can assist with scattering or interring the ashes, depending on your family’s wishes.
​
A Serene Setting in the Cheshire Countryside
All direct cremations take place in a crematorium set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, surrounded by six acres of landscaped gardens. This peaceful, natural environment ensures that your loved one’s cremation is carried out with dignity and care. Should you wish to choose an alternative crematorium this can be arranged however additional charges may apply.
