Hampshire Direct Cremations Simple, dignified and affordable Cremation Services. Genuine care by your local trusted Funeral Director, where care and compassion come first.

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.

Dedication of our Chapel of Rest - We were proud to mark a meaningful milestone with the dedication of our new chapel of Rest at 10 College Place Southampton, held within the 25th anniversary year of Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors

The event was an opportunity to reflect on both the completion of the chapel and the growth and service of Jonathan Terry over the past quarter-century. We were pleased to welcome so many friends, colleagues, and members of the community who joined us to mark the occasion.

We extend our sincere thanks to Canon Norman Boakes, Fr Russ Bullock, Emma Reed, representatives from the Southampton Sikh community, The Lord Mayor of Southampton and Toni Nunn from singers for funerals for taking part in the service and everyone who attended and supported us. Your presence and continued encouragement mean a great deal.

As we look ahead, the new chapel will serve as a space for quiet reflection and remembrance.

Thank you for being part of this special moment.

Dedication Ceremony of New Chapel of Rest at 10 College Place

We are pleased to announce the official dedication of our Chapel of Rest at 10 College Place, taking place on Tuesday, 1st July at 12.00 noon.

We are honoured to welcome the Lord Mayor of Southampton, alongside local members of the clergy and representatives from the Southampton Sikh community, who will join us in marking this significant occasion. Their presence reflects the unity and diversity of our community, and the shared importance of providing a respectful, peaceful space for families in their time of loss.

The Chapel of Rest is a place for quiet reflection, allowing families to spend time with their loved ones in dignity and peace. We believe this dedicated space is an essential part of the grieving process, offering comfort and a sense of closeness during a difficult time.

Following the ceremony, we warmly invite all who wish to visit the premises and view the Chapel to join us. This is an opportunity to learn more about the space, meet our team, and ask any questions in a supportive environment.

This Easter, may peace find you, may hope sustain you, and may love surround you always.
