What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is a delivery of your loved one to the crematorium without a service or gathering of people to farewell them. This is a cost effective option but may result in family and friends not having closure and bearing an extended time of grief. Statistics have shown that attending a funeral ceremony greatly assists the family and friends move forward in their grief. A ceremony honours a life well loved.

Closure is very important when a loved one passes. If there has been a lifetime of ‘hellos’ then there should be a proper ‘goodbye’.

Direct cremation does not prevent a viewing or memorial service to be held. Morleys would be privileged to advise you of the full benefits and value of having a funeral service.
