WHY SIMPLICITY CREMATIONS

Not everyone wants a full traditional funeral. At Simplicity, we specialise in providing affordable, simple cremation services without the ceremonial excess that is so often unwanted and unnecessary. This way you can say goodbye in a way that suits you and your budget.

All of our funerals include cremation fees and doctor’s fees, something not all providers will include, provision of a simple wooden coffin, transportation in a specialised funeral vehicle and care and preparation for cremation in our quality mortuary facilities. 

What we have removed is some of the more expensive costs such as a procession with a hearse and limousines and a team of pallbearers allowing us to provide our funeral services for considerably less than a traditional Funeral Director.

At Simplicity, we provide simple alternatives to a traditional funeral. Whilst we don’t want to take away the sentiment and remembrance that a funeral can provide, we do believe there is a different way.

There are a number of reasons people opt for a Simplicity Cremation. 

Some people express their wishes for something simple because they do not like funerals and do not want to put their family through the same thing, whereas others do not want the fuss and expense often associated with a traditional funeral, and would rather their family spend the money in a more meaningful way. 

Others prefer the idea of holding a low key funeral either unattended or just for a few close friends and family, followed by a memorial or celebration of life at a time and place away from the crematorium. 

The reduced cost of this type of funeral can also play a part in the decision-making process.

Whatever your reason for choosing a Simplicity Cremation, we can help you to arrange a dignified, respectful send-off for your loved one or plan ahead for your own simple funeral in the future.

Our simple cremation services allow you to celebrate the life of your loved one in a way that suits you and your family.

Our Family Led Funeral lets you arrange a service truly reflective of your loved one. You have the freedom to choose the exact funeral arrangements you want including who will lead the service, the music, readings, visual tributes and any extras you may want. 

For something a little more low-key, our Intimate Funeral allows up to 12 people to spend a short time in the chapel to reflect and say a few words. This suits those who would like to be present when the funeral takes place, but do not feel the need for a funeral service. 

If you are uncomfortable with attending the crematorium, our Unattended Funeral takes place without any mourners present and is supervised by a qualified chapel attendant.

If you’re looking to plan ahead for your own simple funeral, we also offer prepaid funeral plans that reflect our range of low cost funerals options.

A Simplicity Cremation can be arranged with just a few phone calls from our team of expert funeral arrangers. Unlike most funerals in the UK, our funerals are arranged without face-to-face interaction with a Funeral Director, saving your valuable time and money at what will already be a difficult time for you and your family.

We provide a range of simple funeral packages and funeral plans that cover all of the essential elements of cremation, without the obligation to pay for the ceremonial extras you may not want.

Our team are available day and night, 365 days a year to help guide you through the entire process. We've got lots of grief support and bereavement advice available, and if you'd prefer not to speak on the phone with someone, you can speak to an online bereavement counsellor through our GriefChat service.

We’re committed to ensuring everyone receives a dignified and respectful funeral.

We know how upsetting and difficult it can be when someone dies, especially if you are responsible for arranging the funeral. That’s why you can rely on us to help and support you throughout the entire process.

Rest assured, you and your loved one will be treated with the utmost care and compassion by our experienced team of funeral professionals, from their collection from the place of rest in our specialised funeral vehicles to the scattering or return of ashes. 

Our simple cremation services provide a cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral, without compromising on quality.

There are many providers that offer direct cremation and low cost funeral options, but they do not all operate to the same high standards as we do, or include the same services within their price.

As part of one of the most well-respected funeral groups in the UK, our nationwide network of facilities and crematoria allow us to operate to a consistently high standard. Unlike many funeral providers, we also have our own professional mortuary facilities located throughout mainland Great Britain.

All of our staff are expertly trained in their field.

Some people do not see the value in some of the ceremonial extras associated with a traditional funeral. The cost of pallbearers, a hearse, and limousines for the family, floral tributes and even a headstone can soon mount up. By removing many of these services, we can offer our funeral services for considerably less than a traditional funeral director.

Our funeral packages include all of the necessary elements required for a cremation including cremation fees, doctor’s fees, a simple coffin, transportation and care in our quality mortuaries. With all of the practicalities covered, you can focus on arranging a ceremony or memorial in accordance with your loved one's final wishes that suit your budget.
