Direct Cremation Woodvale Crematorium, Brighton
Also known as ‘Direct to Cremation’ service – cheaper, low cost and more affordable
Important Note: When comparing with other companies offering such cheaper, low cost, more affordable direct cremation services please bear in mind that your loved one remains here with us in Brighton and is cremated using our local Brighton Woodvale Crematorium. It is always worth asking other companies where your loved one will be cremated. By using Woodvale Crematorium for the Direct Cremation of your love one, this means that your fees are not only supporting a local business but also the Local Brighton & Hove City Council Authority.
Our research has shown that we are the most competitively priced, low-cost, more affordable direct cremation providers that are genuinely located in Brighton; genuinely independent & family owned; and genuinely providing the utmost respectful, sensitive and professional service that you can expect to receive for you and your loved ones. We offer care, compassion and choice as independent family owned funeral directors in Brighton.
The Funeral Director Industry associations require their members to offer a basic cremation only funeral or Direct Funeral, with a given specification as part of their code of practice.
However it has been officially reported in a recent Which? survey, that in spite of this requirement, many choose not to offer this option of direct cremation, unless the client specifically asks for it.
We are one of the few Funeral Directors in Brighton who, for the sake of transparency and integrity, want you to be aware of all our funeral service options. These are especially suitable to those in need of a ‘simple’ and low cost funeral option.
Our ‘Unattended Direct Cremation’ is an affordable alternative to the traditional funeral, which separates the ceremony from the cremation and leaves families free to arrange a memorial or celebration of life service away from the crematorium and in their own time.
Arrangements can be made without you needing to visit us
