We are bombarded every day with adverts for so called low-cost direct cremations but in reality what does this mean?

At E.C.Gilbert it is important to us that we offer a variety of funeral services to support an individual's choice and direct cremation is one of these options. Our costs for this service is usually cheaper than calling a company advertised on TV and we take care of you at our local funeral home using a local crematorium, offering you more choices and peace of mind for your direct cremation.

This image taken from https://handledwithcare.org.uk/your-options/ shows the comparison between a local, independent funeral director and an online direct cremation service.

If have any questions or you'd like more information call us on 0116 2712340.

Every week we get to see the most beautiful floral tributes from families to their loved ones.
This beauty came with a lovely story of the special, shared moments between a son and his Dad. Every week meeting for a pint of Guinness in their local and his wish was for his Dad to pass by their local on his last journey with this special floral tribute.
