Frequently Asked Questions

Let us take the burden off your shoulders with no-service cremations.
What are direct cremations?
A direct cremation is a straightforward, no-service cremation without mourners present.
It provides a respectful farewell at a lower cost, giving families the freedom to arrange a personal memorial, in their own time, in their own way.
Why should I choose a direct cremation?
A direct cremation is more affordable than traditional funerals. They are simple, stress-free, and flexible, allowing you to say goodbye in private.

Will my loved one be cremated locally?
Yes. We only use Lancaster & Morecambe Crematorium. We never transport loved ones outside of the local area.
What happens to the ashes?
You can choose to:
- Have the ashes returned to you in a container.
- Have them scattered at the cremation.
- Scatter them yourself.
- Choose a container you would like your loved one in, and we will transfer them in it for you.
- Inter them at a cemetery or memorial site.
We are more than happy to guide you hrough your options at any time.
