We are here to support you today and plan for your future. Simple, Dignified, and Affordable Cremation Services
Welcome to Hampshire Direct Cremations, a dedicated division of Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors. Our mission is to provide families with a compassionate, affordable alternative to traditional funerals, allowing you to honour your loved one in a way that feels right for you—
simple, respectful, and without unnecessary complexity. Jonathan Terry, a well-respected figure in the funeral business for nearly four decades, established this division in response to the evolving needs of today’s families. After 39 years of guiding families through funeral arrangements, Jonathan has seen firsthand how preferences have shifted over time. Some families and those wishing to plan ahead now seek a more straightforward approach to cremation, one that aligns with their values and budget without compromising on dignity or care. Hampshire Direct Cremations was born from this understanding, allowing us to meet the growing demand for affordable, high-quality cremation services with the same dedication and sensitivity that has defined Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors. A direct cremation is a straightforward option that separates the cremation itself from the celebration of life, giving families the flexibility to arrange a meaningful service at a later date. Our service provides essential options: families can choose embalming and private viewings in our chapel of rest, and if desired, accompany their loved one from our premises to the crematorium. This approach allows us to honour the simplicity of direct cremation while ensuring the farewell remains personal and dignified.
