When it comes to Direct Cremation – why choose your Local Funeral Director over an online provider?

Choosing a direct cremation doesn’t mean you should miss out on care, guidance, and dignity. While online providers often focus on price alone, your local funeral director provides so much more.

This table highlights some of the key differences between what we offer, compared to online-only providers.

✅ Local knowledge & trusted community support
✅ Personal care from a dedicated team you can meet face-to-face
✅ Transparent pricing with no hidden extras
✅ Continuity of care from the first call through to aftercare

Direct cremation can still be personal, respectful, and reassuring when arranged locally.

At Tom Ross and Sons, we’re here to ensure your loved one is looked after with dignity, compassion, and the attention they deserve.
