What is a direct cremation?

Direct cremation removes the formal service element. The deceased is cremated with care and dignity, and ashes are returned to the family. It's simple, affordable, and increasingly popular. Many families find it gives them space to grieve and commemorate in their own way, at their own time.

What help is available if I'm struggling with funeral costs?

Help with funeral costs is available through the DWP if you're on qualifying benefits. Phone 0800 151 2012 to find out if you're eligible. The payment covers cremation fees and some additional costs. The Children's Funeral Fund separately covers funerals for under-18s.

Can I arrange a funeral without a funeral director?

There's no legal obligation to use a funeral director. You can arrange everything independently if you prefer. This involves registering the death, coordinating transport and storage, booking the crematorium, and handling documentation. Councils can help explain the process.
