Direct Cremation South Yorkshire

23/02/2025

💙 We've had some families ask why we don’t have branches in other towns and cities across South Yorkshire. The simple answer is, we just can’t afford to right now.

That said, our trusted service means we can still take care of your loved one with dignity and respect, no matter where they pass away in South Yorkshire. We will bring them into our care here in Doncaster, ensuring they are looked after every step of the way.

If you wish to visit them in our chapel of rest, we’ve worked out the approximate travel times from key locations in South Yorkshire:

📍 Sheffield Railway Station – 22.2 miles (29 mins)
📍 Barnsley Town Hall – 17.3 miles (33 mins)
📍 Rotherham Town Hall – 19 miles (25 mins)

For those traveling by car, there is parking available to the side of our chapel for your convenience.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re always here to help. 💙

What’s the Difference Between Pure, Simple, and Direct Cremation?

Lately, we’ve noticed that many families refer to a Direct or Simple Cremation as a "Pure Cremation." This is likely due to the strong branding of the company Pure Cremation. However, it’s important to understand that Pure Cremation is a business name, not a specific type of funeral service.

At Direct Cremation South Yorkshire, we offer a similar service with a few key differences:

1. Service

We are a small, locally focused provider operating exclusively in South Yorkshire. This means:

If your loved one passes away within South Yorkshire, we collect them and bring them into our care—always staying within the region.
Their cremation takes place in Doncaster, ensuring they remain close to home.
Their ashes are personally returned to you by our staff, not by a third-party courier.

2. Price

Many assume Pure Cremation is the most affordable option due to extensive advertising, but we actually offer a lower price:

Pure Cremation charges £396 more than us.
Our service is £999 plus £25 for the return of ashes.
We personally return ashes to you rather than using a courier service, ensuring a more personal touch.

3. Extra Options

Unlike Pure Cremation, we offer the option to visit your loved one in a Private Chapel of Rest.

Pure Cremation transports individuals to their Andover facility, far from their home and loved ones.
With us, if you can travel to 41 Princegate, Doncaster DN1 3EN, you can arrange a private visit.
There is a small additional charge to cover preparation, but we believe this is an important option for families who wish to say goodbye in person.

Our Thoughts on Direct Cremation

As experienced funeral directors, our role is to support whatever service you choose. While we personally believe in the importance of traditional burials and cremations, the decision is yours, not ours.

Families typically choose Direct Cremation for two reasons:

Cost – We offer what we believe is the most affordable direct cremation in South Yorkshire.

Respecting Wishes – If your loved one wanted a Direct Cremation, we’re here to honour that choice.

Above all, our goal is to provide a personal, dignified, and compassionate service.

We officially open our doors on 1st March 2025, but we are available now for any questions or advice.

Stay tuned for updates! 🙏✨

Help with Funeral Costs 💙

Did you know the Funeral Expenses Payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can help cover the cost of a Direct Cremation with us?

Here’s how it works:
✅ The DWP usually pays the full cremation fee
✅ Plus, they cover up to £1,000 of other costs
✅ As our Direct Cremation fee is just £999, it is almost always fully covered

If you’re receiving certain benefits, you may be eligible for this support. We’re here to help guide you through the process. You can check if you are eligible here: https://www.gov.uk/funeral-payments/eligibility
