A Direct Cremation package provides collection of the Deceased from the place of death, respectful and dignified care at our premises and a simple coffin for transport directly to the Crematorium in the following days. It also includes our services to complete the necessary legal documentation for Cremation. Following a direct Cremation, families can opt to have their loved one's Ashes returned to them.

It is, after all, a permanent sign, and therefore is one of the more important decisions that families have to make. Anstey and District Funeral Services offer a bespoke service in this regard. Using traditional stone masons and the best that the latest technology can offer, we can ensure that the end product will be all you hoped for. A memorial stone is not simply a marker of where your loved one is buried or where their ashes are interned.

It may help to limit the sending of flowers to just family members, but that can include cousins and distant Aunts and Uncles and if you happen to have a large family you could be overwhelmed with floral tributes. For a burial it is nice to have plenty of flowers to cover the grave in the days following the funeral, but for a cremation it is sometimes difficult to know what to do with flowers after the service.
