A Simplicity Cremation provides you with all the practical and essential elements of a cremation, without the
obligation to pay for traditional ceremonial elements you might not want. We find for many people, extravagance
is not necessary.
We have removed some of the more expensive costs, such as hearses, limousines and teams of pallbearers,
which means we can provide our funeral services for much less than you’d expect to pay for a traditional funeral.
Traditional Funeral Directors put in a lot of hard work and hours to provide the funeral you ask for, and this is often
reflected in the price.
Unlike arranging a traditional funeral, organising a Simplicity Cremation includes no Funeral Director involvement,
allowing us to offer substantial savings in the funeral cost.
Instead of visiting a Funeral Home, all of the funeral arrangements can be made over the telephone with help from
our team of funeral professionals.
Whilst our prices are considerably less than you’d expect to pay for a traditional funeral, rest assured you and your
loved one will receive the highest level of care and service. A Simplicity Cremation ensures everyone gets the
dignified send off they deserve.
What we have removed are some of the more expensive costs, such as hearses, limousines and teams of pallbearers, which means we can provide our funeral services for much less than a traditional funeral director.
Our funerals allow you the freedom and flexibility to say goodbye to your loved one in a way that suits you and
your family.
If for you that means you’d prefer not to attend the crematorium, our unattended direct cremation may be the right
option for you. The committal takes place supervised by a qualified chapel attendant, without any mourners
present. You could instead choose to reminisce in your own way such as holding a beautiful tribute in honour of
your loved one with the ashes at a later date.
We also offer two service options for attending the committal.
Our intimate funeral provides a short time in the crematorium for a small group of family and friends (up to 12
people). This offers enough time for you to say a few words and say a personal goodbye to your loved one without
the need to organise a funeral service.
If you would like the opportunity to organise a personalised ceremony and expect the attendance of a larger
congregation, our attended funeral provides a full length service in the chapel, led by the family.
You can use this time however you feel most appropriate. Some families opt for engaging with the services of a
minister or officiant, and organise a service in the way you would with a traditional funeral, whereas others prefer
to do something a little less formal, such as spend the time playing a collection of their loved ones favourite songs
and sharing happy memories.
Choose the service that feels most suited to you and your family from a simple, direct cremation, a short funeral to say a personal goodbye to your loved one or a personalised family-led ceremony.
A Simplicity Cremation may be low cost, but this is not at the expense of our standards of service.
Without the expense of a hearse or limousines and the need to visit a Funeral Director, our costs are considerably
lower than you’d expect to pay for a traditional funeral. Instead of providing the traditional ceremonial elements
that many do not see the value in, we give you greater choice in how you remember your loved one, with the focus
on whether or not you’d like to attend the committal.
Our high quality funerals are delivered without cutting corners. From the moment your loved one is collected to
when the ashes are returned to you or scattered in our gardens of remembrance, every step of the process is
carried out with dedication, expertise and compassion.
As part of one of the UK’s most respected funeral groups, we have our own highly trained staff, use only specialist
funeral vehicles, our own mortuary facilities and have access to some of the UK’s leading crematoria.

WHY SIMPLICITY CREMATIONS
We offer families greater choice and flexibility in how they remember their loved ones – whilst we focus on providing the essential care and practical elements of the cremation.
At Simplicity, we believe funerals should be less of an undertaking. We provide simple funerals that take care of all
of the practicalities without the needless expense or unwanted formalities.
Most people would assume arranging a funeral without a Funeral Director would be a difficult process. With
Simplicity, this is simply not the case. All of the funeral arrangements can be made over the phone, saving both a
considerable amount of time and money in the process.
We understand that many people will have never had the responsibility of arranging a funeral before, and it can often
prove to be a stressful and overwhelming time. Rest assured, you can count on our dedicated team of funeral
professionals to be there to assist you every step of the way.
Organising a funeral without the assistance of a funeral director is not as daunting as it may seem, our telephone based arrangement team can assist you every step of the way.
From the moment your loved one is collected to when the ashes are returned to you or scattered in our gardens of
remembrance, every step of the process is carried out with dedication, expertise and the highest degree of
compassion.
When someone close to you dies, it can be a confusing and disorientating time. At Simplicity, we are dedicated to
helping people through what can be the most difficult times of their life. To help you, our bereavement and advice
counselling service is available 24 hours a day should you need us.
Years of experience offer peace of mind that we will handle every part of the process with care and compassion.
Just because a Simplicity Cremation is low cost, it does not mean substandard care.
As part of one of the UK’s largest funeral groups, we’re the only truly national direct cremation and low cost
funeral provider that has its own staff, specialised vehicles, crematoriums and mortuaries.
Our nationwide network of facilities and crematoria ensure a consistently high quality of care, teamed with
decades of expertise in funeral services.
As recognition of our high standards of service, we’ve even been awarded Best Direct Cremation Provider in the
2018 Good Funeral Awards.

A traditional funeral can be an expensive affair.
You’ll often need a Funeral Director and a whole team of staff to co-ordinate the required services, vehicles and
personnel, manage tributes and announcements and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. And then there
are also additional costs for items such as flowers, service cards, maybe a headstone and often a wake. It usually
takes quite a few face-to-face meetings to arrange, not to mention several thousands of pounds.
A Simplicity Cremation allows you the freedom and flexibility to customise proceedings as you wish, so you can
hold a truly personalised funeral or memorial for your loved one that suits you and your budget, whilst only
incorporating the formalities that are important to you.
Without a team of pallbearers, a procession with limousines and a hearse, and some of the other more traditional
elements of a funeral, we can offer a more cost-effective, simpler affair with the focus on the service itself.
There’s no need for the costly extras of a traditional funeral. We take care of the practical side of the cremation, leaving you the freedom to customise proceedings as you wish.

Edna Pook of J and J Gray could not have been kinder or more efficient.

The details of how to use the system were clear (we did our own service) and the attendant was helpful and thoughtful. The chapel was a pleasant place. The photos I had arranged to show were well done. I would have preferred the flowers sent by friends to be with the coffin (rather than just placed on the flower terrace beforehand) - and details of exactly where to send flowers would be appreciated, I think. Otherwise everything was appropriate and dignified and conformed to our wishes, except I had expected a light wood coffin, rather than dark (so explaining this would have been helpful).

Everything was dealt with by Kate,such a lovely caring person. At such a sad time it has been very comforting having her support and kind words.
