Direct Cremation
Contact
We are available 24 hours a day. If you prefer, you can call us in advance to provide some basic information, so when the time comes there is less for you to worry about.
Collection
We will collect the deceased from anywhere in Great Britain and take care of them at our mortuary facilities. This includes suitable transport to the crematorium for cremation.
Cremation
We take care of everything including the removal of artificial devices such as a pacemaker and handling of paperwork. The direct cremation will take place at our trusted partner crematorium and we'll let you know the date and time it will take place.
Ashes
Ashes can be scattered in the crematorium's garden of remembrance or you can choose for us to deliver them to you by hand at a convenient time anywhere in Great Britain.
Celebration
You are free to gather the people that matter, at a time that suits everyone, to celebrate the life of your loved one.

How are the ashes returned?
If you choose our direct cremation with the return of ashes, our specialist team will call you, usually around 2 weeks after the cremation, to organise a suitable time to deliver the ashes.
The ashes are contained in a beautiful biodegradable scattering pod that you can use to scatter the ashes in a special location, or you can bury the whole pod directly into the ground.
We don't use a courier or postal service, the team at Celebration of Life will return the ashes to you directly by hand.
