Traditional and Bespoke Funerals

We have created three funeral choices that provide everything required for a traditional cremation or burial. That’s right, everything required including all disbursements paid, all our professional fees covered and a standard coffin. No surprises and no hidden costs.

We have also given you a unique option to create a bespoke funeral to suite your exact wishes. In just a few simple pages we will guide you through every aspect and choice for your funeral from location and style to vehicles and tributes. We will also give you an accurate price at every step so you can adjust to suit your budget.

Direct Cremation

Offering a saving of £2,600 a Direct Cremation differs from a Traditional Cremation in that there is no service during the funeral and there are no mourners in attendance. This does not stop the family from arranging a memorial or celebration-of-life event at a location and time of their choice.
What the package includes
  • Bringing the deceased into our care from any location within 20 miles including home, care home or hospice at no extra cost
  • Provision of a full hearse (not a van or private ambulance) for transport to the crematorium
  • Cremation location is Basildon Crematorium
  • Removal of pacemaker or prosthetics is included if required
  • Return of ashes to the family, usually within two weeks, at no extra cost
Disbursements (third party fees)
  • Crematorium fee – £545
  • Oak veneer coffin – £155

The final price for a Direct Cremation including disbursements is £1,295

Of course we will handle all arrangements and liaisons with third parties as well as giving you our full support before, during and after the funeral.
