**Simply Purely Direct Cremation**

At Desmond L Bannon and Sons, we are proud to offer direct cremation services starting from just £1189.00, which includes all costs and cremation fees. In comparison, similar services from Pure Cremations are priced at £2095.00, making our offering a more affordable choice.

One of the key benefits of choosing us is the comfort of utilizing a trusted local service, rather than an online provider that may lack personal compassion. All cremations are conducted locally in Liverpool and typically take place within 7 days of your arrangements.

Additionally, we provide the opportunity for you to visit your loved ones in our family room prior to the cremation, ensuring a more personal connection during this time.

Everything remains local with us, as opposed to online providers that often utilize national hub crematoriums, which can be more costly.

For more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at ☎️01517350115.
We are here to assist you.

🌟 **Understanding Direct Cremation** 🌟

At Desmond L Bannon & Sons, we offer a direct cremation service that ensures dignity and respect for your loved ones during their final arrangements. It’s crucial to clarify what “Direct Cremation” or “Pure Cremation” entails, especially since there are various misconceptions about it.

Many often associate these services with companies not rooted in Liverpool, but your local independent funeral directors—like us—also provide this service. One significant advantage of choosing a local provider is the comfort of knowing exactly where your loved one will be. They will be taken into our care at our local head office, providing reassurance during this challenging time.

Cremation services will be conducted at a Liverpool or Merseyside crematorium, typically within two weeks of making the necessary arrangements.

For those seeking a more personalised approach, we also offer enhanced direct cremation. This service includes full personal care, which can involve obtaining fingerprints and locks of hair, should you wish to keep these cherished memories.

If you would like to spend time with your loved one, we have peaceful family rooms available for visits during the daytime by appointment.

For more information or to arrange a consultation, please reach out to us at 📞01512282272 or visit our website at WWW.bannonsfunerals.com 📧info@bannonsfunerals.com
We are here to support you during this difficult time.

A direct cremation, sometimes referred to as a simple cremation, is a cremation without a ceremony. There are no family, friends, minister or celebrant in attendance. Apart from that, the process itself is exactly the same as any other cremation.
