Why Choose Elite Funeral Service for Direct Cremation? Only £995, With Real Care Included
Direct cremation has become an increasingly popular choice for families who want a simple, dignified farewell without the high cost of a traditional funeral. At Elite Funeral Service, we offer a local, fully supported direct cremation for just £995 — and the difference is not just the price, it’s the people behind it.
You may have seen national online providers advertising very low prices, but what they don’t always explain is what you lose when everything is handled by a call centre hundreds of miles away.
With Elite Funeral Service, you are not a number in a system — you are a family we care for.
What makes Elite different?
We are local and independent. We are based right here in the community. When you call us, you speak to people who live and work locally, not a rotating team in a national call centre. We understand local crematoria, local hospitals, and local families — and that makes everything smoother, faster and more personal.
You get a dedicated funeral professional.
From the moment you contact us, one experienced member of our team will look after you all the way through. No being passed from department to department. No repeating yourself. Just one point of contact who knows your loved one’s story.
Your loved one is cared for by us — not outsourced. Many large online providers subcontract their work to whichever funeral home is cheapest at the time. Families are often shocked to learn they never knew who actually collected or cared for their loved one.
At Elite, we personally bring your loved one into our care and look after them with dignity and respect throughout. They never become just another booking on a national schedule.
No hidden extras or surprise fees.
Our £995 direct cremation includes professional care, transport, paperwork, and the cremation itself. We believe in clear, honest pricing — not adding costs later when families are already under emotional strain.
Why families are choosing independent funeral directors again.
More and more families are telling us the same thing: They don’t just want the cheapest option — they want to know their loved one is being treated properly.
Large online providers are owned by corporations and investors. Their focus is volume and profit. Independent funeral directors like Elite are focused on reputation, care and community. We rely on families recommending us, not on advertising budgets.
That means we must get it right — every time.
Affordable doesn’t have to mean impersonal
Choosing direct cremation does not mean choosing cold, clinical or rushed care.
With Elite Funeral Service, you receive:
A respectful, dignified service
Personal support from start to finish
Transparent pricing
And the peace of mind that your loved one is in trusted hands
All for just £995.
