Before you decide

We’ll confirm how your loved one will be brought into our care, how the cremation will be arranged, and whether your circumstances involve additional charges. Ashes collection is free of charge. The price above is for cremation; burial fees would be different.

How the arrangements progress

  1. Talk through your needs. Tell us where your loved one is being cared for, who is making the arrangements and any wishes they left.
  2. Confirm the arrangement and estimate. Discuss collection, local care, the coffin, visiting and the cremation arrangements. Ask us to explain anything that changes the total before deciding.
  3. Agree visiting and cremation details. Working-hours visiting is included in the published Simple Farewell option and should be arranged with the team. We will explain the arrangements for the unattended cremation.
  4. Confirm the arrangements for ashes. Ashes collection is free of charge. Ask when the ashes will be available and speak to us about collection or delivery arrangements.

Questions to confirm before you agree

  • Which crematorium is being used and what timing is proposed?
  • Does the collection location, distance or an out-of-hours request change the cost?
  • Where will care and visiting take place, and how do we arrange a visit?
  • Are there any additional coffin or other requirements for this arrangement?
  • When will the ashes be available, and how can we arrange collection?

You can arrange your own gathering or remembrance separately. If you would prefer an attended funeral, compare our Sunset Chapel and traditional funeral choices.

Your questions

Can we attend the cremation?

You can be present as your loved one is welcomed at the crematorium, for peace of mind. The Simple Farewell option does not include an attended funeral service. If you would like a ceremony with family and friends, we can explain our chapel and traditional choices.

Can we visit beforehand?

Yes. Visiting during working hours is included in the published Simple Farewell option. Please arrange a time with the team.

What if we are not sure which service to choose?

You can contact us without choosing an option first. Tell us what matters to your family and we can talk through the differences.
