What’s the difference between low cost direct cremations and other types of cremation?
Put simply, a low cost direct cremation in Oxley is a cremation without a funeral service or a family viewing of their loved one. Whereas a traditional cremation funeral includes a service at the crematorium, a direct cremation is just a cremation with no service and no one in attendance.
The cremation is also held at a suitable time for the crematorium, without the opportunity for the family to view the deceased or attend a funeral service.
When choosing a low cost direct cremation, it’s worth checking that the funeral provider will be able to offer support and guidance at that emotional time.
As with any cremation, the deceased is always treated with the utmost respect by the funeral director.
The ashes may then be collected by the family following the cremation, though some funeral providers will offer to scatter the ashes in their garden of remembrance. This is a pleasant garden that families can visit to remember their loved ones.
