The funeral industry has seen a rise in Direct Cremations in recent years, and while these can be a cost effective option, many people often opt for them without fully understanding the process.

Please take a moment to watch Carla’s story. We’re heartbroken at hearing of her experience at the start of the video, but are so pleased that she was finally able to give her mother the funeral she deserved.

Many people don’t realise that their local, Independent Funeral Director often also offers a Direct Cremation package. We are proud to offer such a service, and can assure you that the Cremation will take place locally and that your loved one will be treated with the respect, dignity and care that they deserve.

If you would like to have a no obligation chat to find out more information about this, or any of our services, please get in touch – our team will be glad to help you.

This week is Dying Matters Awareness Week.

This annual campaign, led by Hospice UK, aims to focus on the importance of having conversations about death and dying with your loved ones.

Death affects us all, and unfortunately will come to us all eventually. The passing of a loved one will inevitably be a hard time, but the grief process can feel more manageable if you have had a previous conversation, and therefore have an understanding of what their wishes were.

Many people don’t know where to begin the discussion, but you are welcome to contact us by phone, by email or by calling into our office in Aberystwyth, and our team will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

You can also find further information at www.hospiceuk.org
