COVID-19 UPDATES
An overview of our services during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and how we will continue to serve the families we support. Right now, we have some restrictions and limitations on our services to ensure we are able to sustain caring for families and the deceased in the coming months.
High quality funerals without the high price tag
To keep things simple, we only 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.
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.
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 the funeral arrangements can be made over the telephone with help from our team of funeral professionals who are available 24/7.
Whilst our 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.
Contact us to discuss arranging a low cost funeral.
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 a traditional funeral director.
Our low cost 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 direct cremation may be the right option for you. The committal takes place supervised by a qualified chapel attendant, without any mourner's 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.
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, our Attended funeral provides a full length service in the chapel for an unlimited number of people to attend, led by the family. 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 funeral service that feels most suited to you and your family. Our range of alternative funeral options can help you to commemorate your loved one's life in a way that is right for you.
A Simplicity Cremation may be low cost, 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 committal.
Our low cost 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 £4,417 - SunLife (2020), Cost of Dying Report, sunlife.co.uk/costofdying2020
We deliver a professional, respectful and low cost funeral service, without cutting any corners. We have our own highly trained staff, use only specialist funeral vehicles, our own mortuary facilities and 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, low cost 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 the funeral arrangements can be made over the phone by our team of funeral arrangers, 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 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 and are available 24/7.
From the moment your loved one is collected and brought into our care 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 in organising high-quality funerals means that we offer you the peace of mind that we will handle every part of the process with care and compassion.
Just because a Simplicity Cremation is a low cost funeral option, 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 were even awarded Best Direct Cremation Provider in the 2018 Good Funeral Awards.
As part of the UK’s largest funeral group, we’re the only truly national direct cremation and low cost funeral provider that has its own staff, vehicles, crematoriums and mortuaries.
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, 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.
