Heritage Direct
An unattended cremation without a ceremony
Heritage Direct Funeral
The Heritage Direct Funeral is where a loved one is taken by our Funeral Director to the crematorium without a funeral ceremony/service.
Over the past couple of years an increasing number of families are choosing the direct cremation funeral option as an alternative to what is regarded as a conventional funeral for a number of reasons including:-
Families are not always comfortable having a formal funeral at which the body of their loved one is present
With many families having relatives not living local, a loved ones funeral can have only a very small number of mourners in physical attendance.
The Direct funeral gives the opportunity to say farewell to a loved one at a time that maybe more convenient to the entire family in some cases some months after their passing in a more fitting setting without the formalities at the immediate time.
From a financial view point, because of the simplicity, the Heritage Direct Funeral is the most cost effective way for families to facilitate a funeral.
In many cases however cost is not the main factor, John Lennon and David Bowie both chose this type of service.
