Why do people choose direct cremation?

Accepted Answer

There are a number of reasons an increasing number of people are choosing Direct Cremation, which may include: A Direct Cremation is an affordable alternative to a traditional Funeral Your loved one expressed their wishes for a low-key Funeral Your loved one did not wish for a Funeral with a religious ceremony.

Family or friends of the deceased live far away It is easier to transport ashes abroad than to repatriate.

Ashes are collected by Simple Cremation and returned to families by hand.
