A Direct Cremation
Not everyone wants a traditional funeral, and a direct cremation takes care of all the essentials of a funeral and is ideal for those who do not wish to have a ceremony, as it has no procession and has no attendance of mourners.
A direct cremation is an affordable alternative to a full-service funeral. Cremation fees are included, along with doctors’ fees, conveying the deceased into our care in our private ambulance (within a 40 mile radius), care of the deceased, a simple coffin, transportation in our hearse to the crematorium and free announcement on our website and Facebook page. We will also collect the ashes from the crematorium for you, if wished.
This option is a low-cost, respectful, fuss free funeral, but we still guarantee our high standard of care to you and your loved one. The cost of our direct cremation is £1095.00.
For a simple funeral our fees are as follows
Our Professional Charges for arranging the funeral in accordance with instructions. Including preparation of the deceased; use of our Private Chapel of Rest; preparation of paperwork and liaison with the appropriate authorities, as necessary. Collection and administration of charity donations, free announcement on our website and Facebook page. £930.00
Bringing the deceased into our care, within a 40 mile radius, to our Chapel of Rest, during office hours, £174.00
Care of deceased, and provision of modern, hygienic mortuary facilities. £178.00
Provision of hearse. £242.00
Provision of veneered oak coffin (alternative coffins listed below). £358.00
Total of our fees for a simple funeral. £1882.00
Although our fees include all that we do whilst caring for you and your loved one, there are also third party fees, known as disbursements, which make up the total price.
These may include crematorium, church, doctors, minister/celebrant, newspapers announcements, floral tributes etc. As we care for families over large parts of Cornwall, fees can vary in different areas.
