What is a direct cremation?
Known to many as Pure Cremation, Simple Cremation, or Unattended Cremation, a Direct Cremation is a simple and straightforward approach to handling the deceased's body after death. It involves the cremation process without a formal funeral service or viewing. With FP Gaunts, you can trust that your cherished family member will receive responsible care from a dedicated Family-Owned Funeral Director. We ensure the proper handling of cremation and associated paperwork, all done with meticulous attention and sensitivity.
How much is a pure cremation?
Introducing Our Simple Cremation Service for £1,300
This package is tailored for individuals seeking an option that harmonises dignity and affordability, without the desire for a traditional Funeral Service.
Our Non-Attended Cremation package distinguishes itself from those often showcased on television. Here at FP Gaunts & Sons, we take pride in the personalised care provided by our Family-Owned Funeral Directors, who hold a genuine and heartfelt concern for your loved one's journey.
Inclusive in our service is the provision of a hearse, ensuring your loved one is respectfully conveyed to the crematorium. A dedicated Funeral Director and Bearers are also part of the package, alongside a suitable and dignified coffin. While we understand that you may opt not to be present, we warmly encourage your presence as we accompany your loved one to the crematorium.
As a testament to the individuality of the life being honoured, we invite you to select the music that will accompany their final journey into the crematorium. Moreover, we take it upon ourselves to utter a prayer or recite a poem as the curtains gently draw to a close, encapsulating a moment of reflection and reverence.
We transfer your loved one into our care where they remain until the day of the cremation.
Your loved one is transferred into our devoted care, where they rest until the day of cremation. With utmost diligence, we oversee all necessary paperwork and meticulously arrange a suitable date and time for the cremation process. Subsequently, we provide you with the option to receive the ashes, or should you prefer, explore alternative arrangements.
