Direct Cremation in Greenwich, South London from £895

Understanding Direct Cremation

During the difficult time of losing a loved one, many face the additional challenge of high funeral costs. Direct cremation offers a more affordable alternative to traditional funeral services, focusing solely on the cremation without an accompanying service or memorial. This option significantly reduces expenses and provides families with flexibility in arranging personal memorials at their convenience.
