What is a Simple Cremation?

A simple cremation, also known a direct cremation or unattended cremation, is a simple, straightforward cremation option. It includes no frills and no optional extras, meaning you only cover the cost of transport and of the cremation itself. It’s an affordable cremation service, designed to give you and your family the time and space you need in what is a difficult and emotional time.

Why Choose a Simple Cremation?

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral service or full-service funerals just aren’t for you, a simple cremation might be the answer. Simple cremations are one of the most cost-effective funeral options available. Plus, with the option of not having a cremation funeral service or memorial service, there’s a lot less pressure on your family to prepare things on short notice. This means less stress overall, especially when it comes to finances and funeral planning.

No dealing with a funeral home or funeral director, no sorting through cremation packages, trying to find a venue or shelling out for overpriced coffins and urns. You and your family are free to go through the grieving process in your own time and hold a memorial service for your loved one when you’re ready.

What’s the Difference Between a Simple Cremation and a Simple Funeral?

A simple funeral is similar to a simple cremation, but it also includes making arrangements for a funeral service (which may include hiring someone to officiate), hiring a venue, organising a casket and flowers, and more. A simple funeral may also involve sending out invitations, organising notices in local newspapers, flowers, catering costs for the service etc.

While it is called a simple funeral, there is still a lot more involved when compared to a simple cremation. Of course, many people opt for simple traditional funerals for religious reasons, in which case they’re still an excellent option, allowing you to have a religious ceremony without the cost of a full funeral. For more information on simple funerals, we recommend talking to funeral providers directly.
