Direct Cremation Guide

A Direct Cremation is unattended allowing for a celebration of life that can take place at any time, anywhere.

Things to consider

What should your Cremation Plan include?

The first thing you will need to do is register the death and appoint a Funeral Director.

You might find the below helpful to consider before making any final decisions:

  • Nominate a family member or friend to manage the arrangements.
  • Would you like to know the date the Cremation will be taking place?
  • Will your loved one be dressed in their own clothes or a coffin gown?
  • Is there any jewellery that needs to be given back to the family?
  • Have you any other special requests? Think about if you would like finger prints, or locks of hair and talk to your Funeral Director about them.
  • Would you like the ashes to be returned to you, or scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance?
  • Will you be holding a memorial service to celebrate the life of your loved one? Think about who you might ask to attend and where you might want to go.
