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 wife had a direct cremation. Everything went smoothly. The surcharge for collecting from a residential property was a bit unwelcome, especially when combined with the out of hours surcharge due to Queen's Jubilee bank holidays. When phoning staff they were very helpful.

Everyone we spoke to was so thoughtful, kind, considerate, knowledgeable and compassionate. They made us feel so looked after and individual not just another client. I cannot recommend them more highly. Wonderful service and pricing. Thank you all for making a horrid time bearable.
