A Direct Cremation is a simple, dignified funeral choice for those who prefer a service without a traditional ceremony.

At Craddock & Russell Direct Cremations, we are proud to offer this service with the same compassion, respect and professionalism that every family deserves.

A direct cremation includes:
• Bringing your loved one into our care.
• Looking after them with dignity and respect at our funeral home.
• Completion of all the necessary arrangements and paperwork.
• A simple coffin suitable for cremation.
• The cremation fee at the chosen crematorium.
• The return of your loved one's ashes to your family.

There is no funeral service, procession or attendance at the crematorium on the day. However, many families choose to celebrate their loved one's life afterwards in their own special way, whether that's a memorial service, a gathering with family and friends, or scattering ashes at a meaningful place.

A direct cremation doesn't mean less care or less respect. It simply offers a different choice for families whose wishes, beliefs or circumstances make it the right option.

If you would like to find out more about our Direct Cremation Service, we're always here to answer your questions with kindness, honesty and without obligation.
