Malone & Fox Funeral Directors

18/06/2026

The recent Advertising Standards Authority ruling against Pure Cremation television advert is an important reminder that families should always be careful at what is included and what isn’t when comparing funeral options. The Advertising Standards Authority found that the advert misled viewers into believing that an attended funeral service formed part of their standard direct cremation package (unattended), when this was not the case.

Here at Malone & Fox, our unattended service offers a simple, respectful and dignified way to say goodbye with the reassurance that your loved one is cared for by us, your own local and trusted funeral directors.

Your loved one will be cared for by our experienced team; from the moment they come into our care. We make all the necessary arrangements, including completing the required paperwork and coordinating the cremation at your local crematorium. You also have the opportunity for your family to spend time with your loved one in our Chapel of Rest, if they wish to do so.

On the day itself, there is no formal service, or attendees present other than ourselves, allowing families freedom to remember their loved one in their own personal way, at a time and place that feels right for them.

Throughout the process your loved one is treated with the utmost care, compassion and respect- giving you peace of mind during this difficult time.
You can find out more information about our unattended cremation service and other funeral options by speaking with our experienced team on 0141-649-4900 or by visiting our website malonefox.com

Carers Week

This Carers Week, we would like to take a moment to recognise and thank all carers for the invaluable support they provide every day.

Caring for someone involves patience, compassion, and dedication, whether offering practical help, emotional reassurance, or simply being there when it matters most.

Your work can sometimes go unseen, but it makes a meaningful difference to the lives of those you care for and their families.

Thank you for everything you do, and for the kindness and commitment you continue to show.

Great Big Green Week

Spending time in nature can be a positive and restorative way to support yourself during times of grief and Great Big Green Week is a wonderful reminder of just how powerful the natural world can be.

Great Big Green Week is the UK’s largest celebration of community action to protect nature and tackle climate change, bringing people together to enjoy green spaces and connect with the environment around them.

Research shows that being outdoors, whether it’s a walk in a park, time in a garden, or simply sitting in fresh air can help reduce stress, lift mood, and encourage a sense of calm. A simple act which can support your emotional wellbeing when you need it most.

There’s no single way to navigate grief but taking time for yourself even in small ways like stepping outside can play an important part in looking after your wellbeing.

We’re here to support you whenever you need us.
