High quality cremation services without the high price tag
We are here to help make arranging a funeral simple and affordable, ensuring your loved one gets the respectful funeral they deserve now or helping you to plan ahead so your own funeral is carried out according to your wishes in the future. We offer three low cost funeral packages with the same options available if you'd like to plan ahead for your own funeral.
Our low cost cremations provide you with all the practical and essential elements of a cremation, without having to pay for traditional ceremonial elements you might not want.
When someone passes away, most families will seek help from a local Funeral Director to arrange a funeral for their loved one. Traditional Funeral Directors put in a lot of time including face-to-face meetings to provide the funeral you ask for, and this is often reflected in the price. Their fees typically make up most of the cost of a basic funeral.
Unlike arranging a traditional funeral, organising a Simplicity Cremation requires no Funeral Director involvement, allowing us to offer substantial savings in the cost of a funeral. Our simple funeral packages cost from just £995 and take care of all of the practicalities of a simple cremation including cremation fees, doctor’s fees, collection from the place of rest a few days prior to the cremation, a wood-effect coffin and transportation of the deceased on the day of the cremation.
Instead of visiting a Funeral Home, the funeral arrangements can be made over the telephone with help from our expert team of funeral arrangers, who are available 24/7.
Whilst our funeral prices are considerably less than you would expect to pay for a traditional funeral, rest assured you and your loved one will receive the highest level of care and service. At Simplicity Cremations, everyone gets the dignified funeral they deserve.

We have removed some of the more expensive costs, such as hearses, limousines and teams of pallbearers often associated with a traditional funeral, which means we can provide our cremation services for much less than a traditional funeral director in the UK.
How we're different
Our low cost cremation services 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 direct cremation may be the right option for you. This cremation-only funeral is supervised by a qualified chapel attendant, without any mourners present and without a service beforehand. You could instead choose to reminisce in your own way such as holding a beautiful memorial service or celebration of life in honour of your loved one with the ashes at a later date.
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 hold a respectful, yet short and simple funeral service to say a few words and say a personal goodbye to your loved one, without the need to make formal service arrangements.
If you would like the opportunity to organise a personalised funeral service, our Attended Funeral provides a simple funeral with a service arranged by the family for an unlimited number of people to attend. 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 other families 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.
If you’d like to plan ahead for your own simple funeral in the future, our prepaid funeral plans include the same attendance and service options, allowing you to protect your loved ones from rising funeral costs, as well as ensuring your funeral is carried out according to your wishes.

Say a unique goodbye
A Simplicity Cremation may be a low cost funeral option, but this is not at the expense of our standards of service.
Without the cost of a hearse or limousines and the need to visit a Funeral Director, our prices are up to 76%* less than the cost of the average basic funeral. Instead of providing 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 crematorium on the day of the cremation.
Our simple funerals are delivered to the highest standards. From the moment your loved one is collected to the day of cremation, every step of the process is carried out with dedication, expertise and compassion.
*The average cost of a basic funeral in the UK is currently £4,184 - SunLife (2021), Cost of Dying Report, sunlife.co.uk/costofdying2021
We deliver professional, respectful and low cost funeral services, without cutting any corners. We have our own highly trained staff, use only specialist funeral vehicles, and our own mortuary facilities and some of the UK’s leading crematoria.

Our standards
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 extras such as flowers, service cards, maybe a headstone and often a wake. It usually takes quite a few lengthy face-to-face meetings to arrange, not to mention several thousands of pounds.
By making low cost funeral arrangements with Simplicity Cremations, you'll have 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 traditions 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, simple funeral with the focus on how you choose to say goodbye.
By removing some of the more costly extras often associated with a funeral, we can offer simple funerals which take care of the practical side of the cremation, leaving you the freedom to customise proceedings as you wish.

Funerals are never nice to think about and organise but I found Simplicity had exactly what I wanted for my Mother and they made it very easy to sort out. The Magnolia scheme gave the best of both worlds, simple but allows family to say goodbye. Policy arrived with 10 days of payment so I feel all is now prepared. All the staff I spoke to were very pleasant and caring.
