Direct Cremations

The Simple Alternative.

An Affordable Farewell

More and more people are requesting a fuss-free and low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral which is respectful and dignified. To cater for this demand D.J. Bewley offers a service known as Direct Cremation.

Direct Cremation includes the provision of a simple coffin, the collection and care of the deceased at our funeral home, transport to the crematorium and the cremation itself. There is no funeral service and no-one present at the cremation.

This leaves relatives free to arrange their own wake, memorial event or “celebration of life” for their departed loved one how, when and where they wish.

The cost of a Direct Cremation is far less than a full service cremation.

We can also offer an optional small service in one of our funeral rooms to have a small gathering to say a final farewell before we transport of the deceased to the crematorium.

Direct cremations start from £1,200.

What to Expect from a Direct Cremation

The way we conduct a Direct Cremation does not compromise on quality or professionalism. It is simply a matter of not utilising all our available services, such as preparing and holding a traditional funeral service.

This is how a Direct Cremation is carried out:

Pre-Plan & Pay a Direct Cremation

Our Pre-Paid funeral plans have long been a thoughtful option chosen by many to relieve the financial burden on their nearest and dearest in the event of their passing. We have now recognised the fact that many people who want a simple send-off would like to be able to pre-plan and pay for their Direct Cremation.

We are therefore offering a Direct Cremation Plan which offers great value for money, ensures you have the “no frills” cremation you want, and sets your mind at rest knowing your wishes will be carried out.

Here are the key direct cremation plan features:
