Unattended Cremation
With this service, there is no attendance by family or friends at the cremation itself, providing a more private and straightforward process. The family will be notified in advance of the date and time of the cremation, allowing them to plan accordingly and focus on other aspects of the process. This can be a particularly comforting choice for those who prefer a more discreet and less involved approach at this sensitive time.
An unattended cremation offers a respectful and dignified method for carrying out the cremation, ensuring that the individual’s wishes are honoured with the utmost care and attention. This option allows families the flexibility to arrange a memorial service or celebration of life at a later date, giving them time to reflect and gather their loved ones in a way that suits their needs. It is an ideal choice for those who may be seeking a more affordable or less formal funeral arrangement, while still maintaining the highest level of respect and care for the deceased. This option ensures that the person who has passed is treated with dignity, without compromising on the overall experience for the family.
