As your trusted, SAIF approved, locally owned Funeral Director, we feel it is important that you are aware of exactly what a Direct Cremation entails.
A stand-alone Direct Cremation, as you might see advertised on TV, has no service for family or friends at all.
It is quite simply, a removal of your loved one, followed by the return of their cremated remains some weeks later.
It is often the case that your loved one is transported to a central cremation hub, far from home.
At Kevin Matthews Funeral Service, we do offer Direct Cremations, but unlike many of the offers on TV, we will look after your loved one locally and continue to offer the additional support and services you have come to expect from us.
For more information on Direct Cremations, alongside the wide range of funeral service options we offer, please call our caring and supportive team on 01604 792284.
