Funerals in Newark and Sherwood
Choosing Simplicity Cremations for your loved one's farewell gives you the flexibility to arrange a low cost, alternative funeral service of your choice, without having to use a funeral director. Sherwood Forest Crematorium can be found among the green hills between New Ollerton, Boughton, Wellow and Kirkton in the district of Newark and Sherwood. Opened in January 2006 by the Bishop of Southwell, it was the first in the UK to be designed and built with environmental protection in mind, safeguarding against heavy metal pollution, which is a key factor in the destruction of marine habitats. Whether you are religious or non-religious, Sherwood Forest Crematorium can cater for all beliefs and cultures, treating every family with the same kindness. You are always welcome to visit the crematorium, whether that is to spend time in the peaceful, natural setting of the grounds, or to talk to the members of staff who work there. Sherwood Forest Crematorium holds two services of remembrance each year, as well as an annual Open Day. Here the team will be able to answer any questions about the crematorium. At Simplicity Cremations, we will care for your loved one with compassion and respect, and allow you to make the funeral arrangements in a way that suits you and your family.

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.

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.

Our customer experience is very important to us and we strive to deliver high quality service every time.
apart from a couple of missed calls the whole service was very good indeed. It was easy to contact them and very clear on what was part of the package. They offered exactly what I needed I would recommend them and have already done so on more than one occasion.

Kate on the phone was an absolute star - she put up with me asking questions and gave great advice. I rang round to find the best deal but it was Kate who convinced me to go with you.

I was so surprised by the uncomplicated and straightforward process that I had to phone back to make sure I had got things right. It takes away all the intricate ins and outs of having to book a funeral at the Funeral Directors, which would have been left for a family member to do, hence me making my own arrangments. There is a good saving moneywise but it's the knowledge that I'm not leaving things for others to do. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to arrange their own funeral.
