CHOOSE DIRECT CREMATION

If your family is under real financial stress, it is advisable to choose from funeral packages that have direct cremation added as the method of body disposal. This removes a lot of financial stress from the family, and it is also beneficial from a time-saving point of view.

The only things you need are:

  •          The use of the crematorium
  •          A simple coffin can be used instead of a pricier wooden casket
  •          The vessel to take the cremains with you

CREMATION SERVICES

With cremation services, a funeral director will:

  • Store and prepare the body
  • Process the necessary paperwork and certificates     
  • Arrange the cremation       
  • Supply the coffin    
  • Organise the return of the cremains

CHOOSE EXTRAS VERY CAREFULLY

When arranging a funeral event at a funeral home, it is essential to carefully select the right extras. Funeral directors will offer different funeral packages, but you are free to choose your required funeral services separately. This includes selecting flowers for the coffin and the correct container to store the ashes.
