Attended Cremation
For those who choose an attended direct cremation, a service is held before the cremation takes place, offering a meaningful opportunity for family and friends to come together and pay their respects. This service provides a space for loved ones to reflect, remember, and celebrate the life of the person who has passed, ensuring a respectful and heartfelt farewell.
The service can be carefully tailored to meet the individual’s preferences, incorporating both religious and non-religious elements as desired. Thanks to the expertise of your team of qualified celebrants, this personalised ceremony can be designed to reflect the unique life and values of the deceased. Whether it's a more traditional service or a modern, bespoke gathering, the celebrants work closely with the family to ensure that every detail aligns with the wishes of the person who has passed, creating a fitting tribute to their memory.
