The Unattended Funeral
Our Unattended Funeral will best suit your needs if you want to arrange a simple and straightforward cremation or burial without a service.
When you choose our Unattended Funeral, we will help arrange a dignified cremation or burial without mourners present, allowing you and your loved one's friends and family to commemorate them in your own way.
Sometimes referred to as a "Direct Cremation" or “Direct Burial”, our Unattended Funeral will see us bring your loved one into our climate-controlled facilities and provide them with the highest levels of care until the day of the cremation or burial. We will then take them directly to the crematorium or cemetery in a specialised funeral vehicle. You can rest assured that we will be by your side, offering guidance and support every step of the way.
