In today’s world, many families are looking for simpler, more personal ways to honour a loved one’s passing. No funeral service cremation, also known as direct cremation, is an increasingly popular choice that offers affordability, flexibility, and privacy.

This approach removes the formality of a traditional funeral, allowing families to grieve and remember their loved one in their own time and way.


What Is No Funeral Service Cremation?

No funeral service cremation means that the deceased is cremated without a formal viewing, visitation, or ceremony. The ashes are then returned to the family, allowing them to memorialise their loved one in a private and personal manner.
