We are bombarded every day with adverts for so called low-cost direct cremations but in reality what does this mean?

At A.J.Adkinson it is important that we offer a variety of funeral services to support an individual's choice and direct cremation is one of these options. Our costs for this service is usually cheaper than calling a company advertised on TV and we take care of you at our local funeral home using a local crematorium, offering you more choices and peace of mind for your direct cremation.

This image taken from https://handledwithcare.org.uk/your-options/ shows the comparison between a local, independent funeral director and an online direct cremation service.

If have any questions or you'd like more information call us on 0116 2712340

Our Funeral Arranging staff spend as much time as a family needs discussing the details of a person's lives & loves to ensure they capture every important detail to make their funeral individual & special.

Nessa supported this family to create a beautiful send off for a much-loved Husband & Father.

Celebrating a member of the teams’ birthday is always lovely and for Jenny, our managing director there was no escape from the awful singing today as we marked her birthday, she baked her own delicious cake for us to share 😋

OK- so no one actually gets to go to Paris but we can dream can't we!

With Spring in the air we have started a little step challenge to encourage everyone in our team to get out in the fresh air and get moving. We have split into the Green team and the Red team, there are 7 members in each team and they will compete to see which team can get to 800,000 steps first (the rough estimate of steps from Leicester to Paris).

Why not set your own mini challenge and see how far your steps might take you!

We were proud to attend and support the service last night at Great Glen Crematorium and Natural Burial Ground. Remembering the families we have cared for in 2025.
