Direct cremations remove the most expensive elements associated with a traditional funeral cremation. Our caring approach allows you to celebrate your loved one’s life in a way that meets the needs of you and your family.

OUR PHILOSOPHY We understand that no-one wants to think about their own funeral and similarly we recognise the distress associated with planning a funeral for a loved one when you’re left grieving and heart broken by their passing. Some of the thoughts you may have:• Do you want a burial or a cremation? • Do you want a religious ceremony or not? • Who is going to pay for it all? • What about my own funeral when the time comes?

Here at Direct Cremations we may have the answers to these and many other questions. OUR SERVICES More people are choosing to take a personal approach to their funeral, as opposed to the traditional funeral and burial, with direct cremations becoming more common.

This type of cremation involves the deceased being taken directly from the place of death to the crematorium without a viewing or funeral service. While funerals are seen by some people as the perfect way to say goodbye, others find them distressing and want to separate their memory from the distress of their passing. Without the pressure of a funeral service, family and friends are free to plan a more personalised memorial service at a time and in a place, that suits them, if they so wish.

Why are people choosing direct cremation? With the spiralling cost of a funeral, for some, a direct cremation is simply a cheaper way to go than a more traditional funeral. For others, it’s a question of choice. Some people simply don’t want the fuss of a full funeral service. WHAT’S INCLUDED? A Direct Cremation with Direct Cremations Ireland costs £1,150 and includes:

Bringing the person who has died into our care • All cremation fees and costs • Care and preparation of the person who has died • A simple wood-e ect co n • A suitable vehicle to the creamatorium • Any required doctors’ fees • A scatter tube for the ashes

Extra Costs There would be a fee of £195 if extra sta are required to carry out a non-hospital removal and if an XXL co n is required £250 is added to cover this request.

Celebrate your loved one’s life in a way that suits you and your family from £1,150.00 We cover the whole of Northern Ireland. www.directcremationsirelandltd.com Email: enquiries@directcremationsireland.com
