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.
Just because a Simplicity Cremation is low cost, it does not mean substandard care.

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.

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.
