Direct Cremation Bexhill-on-Sea

What’s the Difference Between a Direct Cremation and a Traditional Funeral?

In a direct cremation there is no formal funeral service and is usually unattended. It is a much simpler and a humble way to be laid to rest. Direct cremations are usually conducted without the ceremony of a traditional funeral or the typical customs and traditions but your loved one receives a dignified cremation carried out with professionalism.

A direct cremation is the cheapest way of laying someone to rest to keep costs low when funds are limited.

The differences between a basic direct cremation, an enhanced direct cremation and a traditional funeral are carefully explained in our cremation comparison chart. If you prefer to speak to someone you can contact or visit Towners Funeral Directors branch, based in Bexhill-on-Sea.

Direct Cremations at Bexhill-on-Sea

If no funeral just a cremation is what your loved one requested or how you would like to say farewell to your loved one, Towners Funeral Directors in Bexhill-on-Sea have a choice of direct cremation options.

There are two types of direct cremation service that we offer, a Basic and Enhanced option. You can find out more about the different direct cremation choices here. Whilst both leave out parts of the service normally available for a traditional funeral, we can still accommodate requests. For example, if you felt you wanted to witness the committal we would recommend choosing our Enhanced Direct Cremation service, this would mean that the funeral director would be in attendance to help you.

Cremation ceremony

Whilst a direct cremation does not include ceremony or a funeral service, many people choose to have a separate Memorial Service or Ceremony of Thanksgiving without the body. This allows family and friends to celebrate the life of the deceased in their own way.

The ashes from the direct cremation are returned to the family for them to do as they wish or for the scattering of ashes at a Memorial Service.
