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.

My contact at Simplicity Cremations on the phone was Nathan. He was very patient, informative and friendly. He went through everything I needed to know and clarified a few points I was not sure of. All together I have been treated with courtesy, helpfulness and time to think things over. Unlike many companies I actually got a call back to discuss any issues I had after receiving the paperwork on the day and time he said he would call. A joy to do business with, no pressure selling, and you get what you want at a fair price.

It was all so easy to set up. I am having the basic of basic funerals, so there wasn't much to input. I recieved all the documentation very quickly and now I just pay each month and know that my love ones wil have nothing to do or to pay. Great service. Only got a 4 because I haven't been able to get the spelling mistake in my surname rectified yet, or it would have been 5 stars.
