Direct Cremation

Cremation only funeral, without a ceremony in St Albans, Hertfordshire

When simplicity matters most, our direct cremation service offers a respectful, uncomplicated option—without losing the care and compassion your loved one deserves.

Unlike large national providers, we’re based right here in your community. That means your loved one stays local, and so do we. You can speak directly with the person who will be looking after all the arrangements —not a call centre.

We offer:

Local care from start to finish – your loved one remains with us in St Albans.
One-to-one support – we’re here to talk in person, by phone, by email or however you need.
Transparent, honest pricing – no hidden fees, no upselling.
Optional extras if you want them – a visit to say goodbye, ashes available locally, or personal items you wish to add to the coffin.

Whether you choose direct cremation for its simplicity, affordability, or practicality, we’re here to make sure it’s carried out with quiet dignity and local care.

Also known as an Unattended Funeral, a direct Funeral is one in which family and friends may choose to have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person, but they do not attend the burial or cremation itself.

Information on the costs can be found on our Prices heading above, under Unattended Funeral.
