Direct Cremation

You may have seen adverts on TV for direct cremation, also known as an 'unattended' cremation. This is a simple, dignified option without a traditional funeral service.
Direct cremations are an alternative choice for many reasons. Sometimes it can be that there is less 'fuss' or family are elsewhere and there are practical reasons to have the cremation first.

Your loved one is cared for in our funeral homes, and you can arrange a viewing, if desired, as an additional option. You get the same personal service as our bespoke service with a face to face meeting.

The cremation will then take place at a time chosen by us, without attendees. We will tell you when that will happen.
Then, the ashes are returned to you shortly afterwards.

This allows complete flexibility in how and when you choose to remember your loved one, maybe at a special place or on a meaningful date!

Last Week some of the Barringtons Team visited North West Air Ambulance's Barton Base for their Funeral Director open day 🚁

The team had the opportunity to sit in the helicopter, have a tour of the base and finished with a chat from Laura, Emma and Joe about the 'In Memory' and NWAA Charity.

Did you know: ✅💭
North West Air Ambulance have attended 2,615 missions so far this year!

North West Air Ambulance is a charity, which means they receive no funding from the government or NHS - this means NWAA rely solely on donations to continue helping people. Each year, they must raise £18 million to cover operational costs and other expenses.

There is a local charity golf day coming up on the 25th September at West Lancashire Golf Club, and this event offers an opportunity to play on one of the UK’s top courses while helping to raise vital funds to save lives across the North West
You can find out more information by following the link

Did you know 🍄

You can have a coffin made out of mycelium - mushrooms!

Loop Biotech have created the Loop Living Cocoon™ which is the first coffin created from mushrooms.
https://loop-biotech.com/mission/

We had the pleasure of looking after a family who knew this was what they wanted for their loved one, and it filled all of their expectations for a 'mushroom coffin'!

The Loop Living Cocoon™ comes lined with a bed of moss and is 100% biodegradable, soil-enriching and works to give back to nature.
Grown in Delft, the Netherlands over 7 days, each Cocoon™ is unique.
The Cocoon™ can be buried or cremated, and fits the criteria for a natural or woodland burial

This is just one of the many eco-friendly options you can have for a funeral service.
If you have any questions about Green Funeral options we offer, please give one of our offices a call! 📞

Barringtons Funeral Services LTD has been awarded 'Gold' by the Greener Globe Funeral Services
