Direct Cremation
The funeral industry is changing, and John Edwards Funeral Directors have anticipated this shift. With our forward thinking approach, we are able to provide quality services which are focused on preserving the memory and life of your departed, whether you want an elegant ceremony or something more traditional at an affordable price.
What is Direct Cremation?
A direct cremation is where the cremation itself takes place completely separately from the personal farewell or service.
It is a modern alternative to a traditional funeral that gives you the freedom to hold a more personal farewell how and when you choose. Some of our families use the ashes urn as their focal point for remembrance, whilst others use a favourite photograph or visit a special location.
