What Is a Direct Cremation?
A direct cremation is a private, unattended cremation without a formal service. It is an ideal choice for families who prefer a stress-free, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral.
This option allows loved ones to arrange a personal memorial or celebration of life at a later date, in a way that best reflects the individual’s wishes.
