Direct Cremation

Direct Cremation Services at Academy Funerals

At Academy Funerals, we understand that every family’s needs are unique, particularly during a time of loss. Our direct cremation service offers a dignified and simple farewell without the formalities of a traditional funeral service. This option is tailored for families seeking a straightforward and private way to say goodbye.

What is a Direct Cremation? A direct cremation, sometimes referred to as an unattended cremation, involves the cremation of a loved one without a formal funeral service. It’s a respectful, low-key alternative that focuses on care and dignity, allowing families to commemorate the deceased in their own way, at their own time.

Our Comprehensive Care We manage every aspect of the direct cremation process with sensitivity and respect. Our services include:

  • Legal Paperwork: Handling all necessary legal documentation and arrangements.
  • Transportation: Secure transport of your loved one from the place of death to our facilities.
  • Cremation Coordination: Coordination with doctors and crematoriums to ensure all aspects are respectfully handled.
  • Death Certificates and JP Copies: Arrangement and delivery of official death certificates and Justice of the Peace certified copies.
  • Return of Ashes: Safe and dignified return of the ashes in your chosen urn or temporary container, allowing you to decide how best to honour their memory.

 

Personalisation Options Recognising that some families may wish to add personal touches, we offer the flexibility to customise aspects of the cremation service. Whether it’s choosing a special urn or arranging a private viewing or dressing of your loved one, we are here to accommodate your needs. Every request is handled with the utmost care, ensuring that your loved one’s farewell is as personal as their life was.

Digital Arrangements We provide the convenience of arranging everything digitally, respecting your need for privacy and simplicity during this difficult time. From the initial contact to the final arrangements, our team is ready to guide you smoothly through the process, ensuring that all aspects are covered with ease and respect.

Support Services Understanding the emotional challenge of losing a loved one, we can refer you to professional bereavement support services within our network. Our aim is to ensure that you receive the compassion and support you need to navigate this challenging time.

What Can We Do For You?

We take your privacy very seriously and respect the need for discretion.

Our Commitment to Care

As professional funeral directors, our role encompasses several crucial responsibilities when we are entrusted by a family. Primarily, we ensure all legal documentation and authorisations for the cremation are meticulously handled. Each set of instructions we receive is unique, but our commitment to the dignified care of your loved one remains constant.

While traditionally, the funeral service itself is a significant aspect of our duties, it is not a legal necessity. Families may opt to have us take care of their loved one both physically and legally, and then direct us to proceed with a straightforward cremation, absent of any service or ceremony.

If you would like to explore the options for an unattended or direct cremation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
