A Bare cremation is an increasingly popular alternative to a traditional funeral. A traditional cremation usually involves a ceremony, a viewing, and a funeral parlour. A Bare cremation doesn’t require any of that. Instead, we provide a simple, dignified, private cremation, allowing families to create a personal memorial service after the cremation occurs. Direct cremation is the fastest growing funeral trend in the UK. It’s more affordable than traditional options and, more importantly, it affords families the flexibility needed to arrange a highly personalised farewell.

Why choose a direct cremation?
Frequently asked questions.
We offer attended or unattended cremation services. With an attended cremation service, a small group of people is allowed to attend the cremation.
We have a different business model to traditional funeral homes. By offering a simple package that can be arranged online or over the phone, we don’t have the same high overheads. We don’t require expensive physical locations to provide a high-quality service, and we don’t hire salespeople. It’s important to note that we use the same crematoriums, mortuaries, and transfer vehicles as the most highly regarded funeral directors, so you know you’re getting exceptionally high quality service. The difference is that we don’t charge you for things you don’t need.
In our unattended cremation service, many of our families will hold a personalised memorial in the days or weeks after the cremation, and arrange it by themselves. For those that would like an arranger to help them with coordinating a memorial service, they can simply call us on 0808 258 3583 anytime to discuss.
We will keep you advised at all parts during the process. When we book the date of the cremation we shall advise you as you may want to pause in your day to remember your loved one.
