The Direct Cremation
Our Direct Cremation service allows you to have a lower cost cremation for your loved one, without a ceremony.
The unattended cremation takes place without mourners at our chosen crematorium, allowing you to have your own remembrance service in a more personal environment, if you so wish. Following the cremation, we will either scatter your loved one's ashes or return them, for you to administer however you see fit.

Marton Direct Cremation Costs
We will talk you through the Direct Cremation, ensuring the arrangements meet with your approval, and work to put everything in place, including the documentation and external payments, allowing the cremation to go ahead. The total estimated cost includes a basic coffin with lining and fittings.
The high standards of care we offer to you is reflected in the care we provide for your loved one, who will be treated with kindness and absolute respect at all times. If you wish to keep or scatter your loved one's ashes, they will be returned to our funeral home for your collection, but if you want us to scatter them, this will be done in the crematorium's gardens of remembrance.

The Direct Cremation
Our Direct Cremation funeral provides a cremation for your loved one, without the attendant service. There are no mourners, hearses or limousines, and no ceremony, allowing you to hold a remembrance or memorial service at a location of your own choosing, if you so wish.
Your loved one will still receive the highest standard of care within our premium facilities, and our professional arranger will be here to support you and ensure everything is in place to allow the Direct Cremation to go ahead. This will take place at a crematorium selected by ourselves, with no family or friends in attendance, and a basic, lined coffin is provided. The ashes can be returned to you or scattered at the crematorium's garden of remembrance.
To arrange a Direct Cremation for your loved one, speak to a funeral professional at our Marton funeral home.
