How Direct Cremation Works
No funeral service, no mourners, no hearse. The cremation takes place privately. We return the ashes to you within 15 miles of the Mossley branch.
How it works
We'll keep you informed at every stage by telephoning you. We'll share and request documentation.
We collect your loved one
Our local team brings your loved one into our care quickly and respectfully, usually within an hour.
We Handle All Arrangements
We complete the paperwork, liaise with the crematorium, and keep you informed at every stage until everything is in place.
Local Cremation
A simple cremation takes place at a nearby local crematorium once the documents and arrangements have been completed.
Ashes Returned
We let you know when the cremation has taken place and arrange collection or hand delivery of the ashes.

While it can feel overwhelming during a difficult time, the process is usually straightforward and local registrars will guide you through it.
If the death occurred in the Upper Tame Valley or Pennine foothills area, the death must normally be registered in the district where the person died. In most cases, this should happen within five days unless the coroner is involved.
