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.

The first contact was very professional and respectful they were very helpful and informative the process of doing paperwork was relatively easy. Sadly despite all this I had to chase them up for confirmation of my relatives cremation (I was told there's a computer problem at the undertaker so why not give me a telephone call) this was disappointing.

Very straight forward. Easy to navigate website & it was made very easy for me to hand over my money to them. How quick & efficient they will be once i die remains to be seen, although obviously not by me. I'll be dead, so i guess i'll never know !
