Your choice, Handled with care.

Here at Aubrey Kirkham Funeral Directors, we offer direct cremation services for families who prefer a simple, dignified option without a formal ceremony. It’s a straightforward and affordable choice, often selected for its privacy and practicality.

But we also believe in the healing power of remembrance.

A funeral or memorial service provides a chance to gather, share stories, and begin the journey of grief together. Whether it's a quiet moment of reflection or a larger celebration of life, these moments can offer comfort, closure, and connection.

Whatever you choose—direct cremation or a full funeral—we're here to support you with compassion, clarity, and care.

📞 Want to talk through your options? We're here when you need us.
