Crown funeral services offer Unattended funerals. A bespoke direct funeral, created with the bereaved in mind.

Our unattended funeral still allow time in our chapel of rest, with friends and family. For your loved one to be cared for and dressed in their own clothes. A beautifully crafted coffin, your choice of music played as the coffin is gently set upon the catafalque, and a dignified cremation at a local crematorium set in tranquil surroundings.

Unlike larger firms, giving a 'no frills' direct cremation, we understand that closure is as unique as you are. A small budget doesn't mean you can't have a send-off your family can find peace from.
Our price for our unattended service is something we are proud to offer to the people of Denton, our unattended is £1595.00 inclusive.

Funeral facts!

Order of service, the booklets we have to follow the service of someone we love, and we keep to remember them fondly, has evolved from Medieval England, through the ages.

Order of service was originally just for Clergy, but as time went by, and the Victorians, Being pioneers of death rituals, Mourning Cards grew popular among the attending congregation!

To bring us to the multiple page booklet including hymns, songs and words of comfort along with photos of the recently departed, reflecting their personality and life!

Funeral flowers, why do we use them?!

Flowers, were used before the victorian period, to mask unwelcome smells during the deceased persons stay at home prior to the funeral! As embalming and other preservation techniques improved, the need for flowers to serve a practical purpose in the funeral process disappeared. However, flowers were seen as a visible expression of sympathy, care, respect, and love for the deceased and the deceased's family.

Different flowers symbolise different emotions and sentiments
