Welcome to all our new followers.
We have had mixed reviews regarding our last post where Debbie and Graham are taking their friend for a direct cremation wearing s*x pistols t shirts and would like to take the time to clear things up.
The truth is, whether it's something you would like or not, direct cremations are becoming more and more popular and the aim of the post was to raise awareness, that family and deceased's wishes can be carried out, even for direct cremation.
To some people that commented that it was disrespectful, undignified and not for them, that may be the case for them, whether they just don't like the idea of direct cremation or because of the way we were dressed. They are entitled to their opinions. But the deceased who's cremation it was, specifically asked that we do what we did. We treat all our deceased and their families, with the dignity, care and respect that they deserve, but funerals are not a one size fits all and so if a family has an unusual request, we try to honor it. Had the gentleman not requested what he did, then Debbie and Graham would have taken him in their uniform in silence, and not filmed, which is what we usually do.
Funerals, whether direct or a full traditional service, should be about the deceased and what they want.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send us a message and we shall answer them.
If you are thinking about a funeral and want to have your wishes fulfilled, please come and speak to us or if we are not local, then talk to your local funeral director. The majority will be able to fulfil wishes as much as possible.
As always, use someone reputable and you can do this by looking for the SAIF, NAFD or BIFD logo on their websites, in branches and on paperwork.
