Why Simplicity Cremations
At Simplicity Cremations, our services allow you the freedom and flexibility to organise a funeral personalised for your loved one.
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 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.

A traditional funeral can be expensive.
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.

Reviews
Our customer experience is very important to us and we strive to deliver high quality service every time.
The service was very efficient and on a practical level all went very smoothly. However I feel that you need to brush up on your communications. On the day Dad died I spoke to a very helpful young lady who took all the details and promised she would ring me later in the day to let me know when Dad had been collected from the care home and where he had been taken to. However I never heard any more and had to get that information from the nurse at the care home. The following week I had a visit from the funeral director who was also very kind and promised to let me know when dad had been cremated, probably the following week. On Thursday 14th Nov I received a very brief email from Simplicity to tell me that the cremation had taken place, but not when. I thought this was rather cold and impersonal. Yesterday, 19th November, I had the promised phone call from the funeral director who informed me that the cremation had actually taken place on 13th Nov and that she had been there. It had taken her nearly a week to let me know so it was probably just as well that I had received the formal email or I would have still been wondering.

I found that every time I needed to someone at Simplicity Cremations, they were able to tell me exactly at what stage my husbands journey at. everyone was both empathic and sympathetic. I have had such a good experience I am even considering organising my own funeral with them.
