Direct Cremations are increasing in popularity and for some people they are the right choice.

Our tvs, radios and magazines are being flooded with companies with multi million pound advertising budgets advertising their Direct Cremation services. What a lot of people don’t know is that your local Funeral Director can offer a similar service, with a much more personal touch for often less money.

These national companies are making people feel like a burden on their loved ones when they pass away. The Funeral is an important part of the grieving process.

Please spend a few minutes watching this video which highlights the importance of talking about funeral arrangements before it’s too late.
