Direct cremation is a simple and dignified process that involves cremating the body without a formal funeral service beforehand, this is a service that is also offered by all local funeral directors in your area, often cheaper than companies that are advertised on TV.
This option allows families to focus on what truly matters—honouring the life of their loved one in a way that feels right for them, without the added stress of traditional arrangements.
However, saying goodbye is a vital part of the grieving process. It allows family and friends to reflect on cherished memories, celebrate a life well-lived, and find closure. Once the ashes are returned, families have the opportunity to create with Pete a personalised tribute and memorial service that captures the essence of their loved one.
After the direct cremation, families can organise a Celebration of Life in a venue or place of their choice. This gathering can be as formal or informal as desired, providing a space for loved ones to come together, share stories, and honour the memory of the deceased. Whether it’s within creation, at the scattering ceremony, in a community hall, or a favourite local spot, the focus is on celebrating the unique journey of the individual.
Pete offers support in planning this celebration, helping families create a meaningful event that reflects the personality and values of their loved one. From coordinating details to suggesting ways to commemorate their life, Pete will assist you every step of the way, and will come along to wherever the service is to take place, and officiate for you.
