Arrange a direct cremation with Sunrise Cremations

offering a dignified and no-fuss option from £895

What is a Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation separates the cremation process from any attended funeral services, offering a straightforward and economical alternative to traditional funerals. Our skilled and compassionate team ensures the dignified transportation of the deceased and provides meticulous care at our mortuary facilities. Services include a simple coffin, an optional white cotton gown, and the removal of medical devices like pacemakers, with ongoing support provided to the family.

Typically, the cremation is conducted privately within two weeks, and the ashes are returned to the family shortly after. We keep the family informed of the exact date and time of the cremation, enabling them to organize a personal tribute according to personal choices.

Within three weeks of the cremation, we can arrange a personal delivery of the ashes, the growing popularity of direct cremations reflects a shift towards more modern and flexible funeral planning options.
