Call us and we will make the arrangements

We’ll collect the person who has died in a private ambulance and bring them to our local care centre. Your funeral specialist will make all the arrangements and support you every step of the way.

We carry out a cremation that you don’t attend

Our crematoria are set in beautiful grounds in locations across the country. Our experienced team will carry out a cremation without mourners present. You’ll have the freedom to celebrate the person’s life your way.

We hand-deliver the ashes, or you can collect them

You can choose to collect the ashes from the crematorium, we can hand-deliver them anywhere in mainland Great Britain, or we can scatter the ashes for you in our beautiful gardens of remembrance.

A simpler way to go

A direct cremation saves thousands by cutting out the traditional elements of a funeral service.

Simplicity is more affordable than other direct cremation providers because there are no long distances to travel or complicated exchanges between different companies.

When you arrange a cremation with Simplicity, we really are with you every step of the way.

What customers are saying about Simplicity

Excellent

I cannot speak highly enough of Simply Cremations. I spoke to Jenny, regarding arrangements for my dad's funeral. She was caring, compassionate, and made me feel a very valued customer. She explained everything so clearly and concisely, nothing was too much trouble. She made me feel at total ease. 5 plus stars. Thank you, Jenny !

Excellent service from start to finish

Very helpful and friendly and clearly explained the process along the way with follow up calls and emails to ensure all details were accurate. Reached out to us regularly to ensure we were happy and the price quoted was the price paid with no hidden extra's. Exceptional service and would highly recommend.

Excellent

Sadly, we have recently had the need to use simplicity cremation's services twice, and on both occasions they have been simply brilliant. The two ladies who looked after us during this difficult time where kind, respectful and very attentive. Leaving us to grieve the loss of our loved ones. I would certainly recommend using simplicity should you be thinking of taking this option after losing someone.

Frequently asked questions

: A traditional cremation has a service at the crematorium, a Simplicity Cremation doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a service at all.
Lots of people choose to honour and remember someone in a place that feels more meaningful to the person who has died. For example, some people may choose a service in their local place of worship, others plan a celebration of life or a gathering to scatter the ashes.
With a Simplicity Cremation, you have the freedom to plan something as special as the person you’re remembering.
: At Simplicity we have our own care centres and crematoria across Great Britain. We take care of every part of the process, from the first phone call to the collection or delivery of the ashes.
Where we are able to, we keep things local, and no matter what, the cremation will always take place in one of our crematoria. We set high standards for ourselves, and we’re proud to offer exceptional funeral care every step of the way.
: What happens to the ashes is your choice. We can arrange for you to collect them from the crematorium, or we can scatter them in our beautiful gardens of remembrance. Alternatively, we can hand deliver them to you for an extra fee.
Some families choose to keep the ashes at home, bury them in their own garden or scatter them somewhere meaningful to the person who has died.
If you would like to, you can also talk to us about creating a memorial within the crematorium grounds, or including a dedication in the crematorium’s Book of Remembrance. A direct cremation gives you the freedom to remember someone your way.
