What is

Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation is cremation without a funeral ceremony. Not everyone wants a ceremony. In fact, some people prefer a simple, direct cremation. Then your family can arrange a memorial gathering afterwards and scatter the ashes.


Simple and Quiet Cremation

A number of famous people have opted for a direct cremation in the past. Notably, David Bowie made arrangements for a direct cremation and was cremated secretly in 2016. In his own words, he wanted to “go without any fuss”. 


John Lennon was another who had direct cremation. His wife, Yoko Ono, chose a simple direct cremation and had John quietly cremated without a service. Instead of a funeral service, Ono arranged a 10-minute silence around the planet

Affordable Cremation

For some people, in an increasingly expensive world with the cost of living rising, a direct cremation is a practical choice.

Simplicity

It is low-key, understated and simple. Some people like that.


Honouring Their Wishes

Your deceased loved one may have requested it.


Non-religious

The deceased and family are not religious.


Family Memorial

The family prefers to arrange their own memorial after the direct cremation.

Testimonials

Excellent customer service


My grandad passed away in July.
When i contacted Fair Cremations they remembered speaking with him when he arranged my nana's Cremation in 2021.
This made all the difference & added a personal touch I wasn't quite expecting with a direct Cremation company. Excellent customer service & provided a lot of support. When the ashes were returned, the funeral director was excellent & answered all my questions. You can tell they are a family run business as they had excellent service you don't always get with big companies. They also do everything themselves & it was comforting to know nothing was contacted out to a third party. Thank you. I hope I don't have to use them again soon - but highly recommended.

Courteous, Professional and Kind


The staff were amazing and so helpful. From the moment I called them before my father had even passed away they took the worry out of making all arrangements.
They were courteous, professional and kind - all requests were done perfectly, they even sealed the Urn for me to take back to germany and provided the correct paperwork.
Would definitely recommend this company.

Jane Newbould

The staff were polite and efficient


The staff were polite and efficient. They carried out all our wishes respectfully. Considering my mother died just before Christmas, and she had donated parts of her body to science, making the arrangements for her cremation more difficult, the process was sorted by them and ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this company.

Very caring and professional service


Tom, Rachel and the team were very professional, caring and compassionate from the very first phone call right through to the delivery of my step dad's ashes.

They made the whole experience easy and we're very grateful.
