Private Cremation
A simple private cremation (known also as direct cremation) for people who don't want a formal funeral service.
Our private cremation has two main options
- The private direct cremation and
- The private direct cremation with a simple committal.
.
From $1,875
A Private Direct Cremation is without a formal ceremony. A direct cremation removes the formality of a traditional funeral service and procession, ideal for those that do not want a fuss when they are gone or would prefer a memorial service at a later time separate from the cremation.
A Private Direct Cremation with a committal service is a respectful way to say goodbye. A few words are spoken and a better coffin with flowers are provided but it is not as formal as a full service.
Unlike most, our direct cremation includes doctor's medical certificate costs and the cremation permit and costs - something not all providers include - provision of a simple coffin and a viewing.
