Unattended Cremation
Fixed-Fee Direct (unattended) Cremation – £950
With over 10 years’ experience, we support families across Yorkshire with care, professionalism, and compassion. By choosing Hathaways, a small independent Funeral Director, over a larger company, you are ensuring a personal service and a guarantee on the Crematorium used.
We guarantee the same support and care that our more traditional Funeral Services receive. You can visit your loved one in our Chapel of Rest, just as with a Traditional Funeral, and the initial arrangement can be done at your home or in our Funeral Home. We can arrange flowers and add any personalisation as you wish.
Our direct cremation service offers a straightforward, dignified, and affordable alternative to a traditional funeral. It is a simple, unattended cremation designed for families who prefer flexibility, privacy, and clarity at a difficult time.
Arrange a Direct Cremation Today
Our direct cremation service includes everything required to carry out a respectful cremation including:
-Collection of your loved one
-A simple coffin
-All administration
-Cremation fee
-Collection of the ashes into our care for collection from family, or scattering of the ashes
We explain all costs clearly before arrangements are made, so you can make informed decisions with confidence. Everyone is unique, so we go the extra mile- we can personalise the arrangement in any way, and we can send you images/a video of the unattended committal if you wish. We use our Hearse, and conduct the cremation in the same way as any attended arrangement.
How our Unattended Cremations Service Works
Our simple and affordable direct cremation service covers everything from collecting your loved one when they have passed and hand delivering their ashes to your door in a beautiful urn, all of this can be arranged with us over the phone.
1. We collect your loved one
We collect your loved one from place of rest. We liaise with medical professionals and handle all necessary paperwork on your behalf.
2. We carry out a private cremation
The cremation takes place without a funeral service or attendees, allowing you the freedom to plan a memorial that feels right for you and your family. We can personalise this with an image or a piece of music and then send you a short video or image of the committal.
3. We collect the ashes
Your loved one’s ashes are then collected from the crematorium pending your instructions. You may then choose to keep, scatter, or memorialise the ashes in a way that feels most meaningful.
Why Choose Direct Cremation?
- Lower cost than a traditional funeral
- No funeral service or attendees
- Private and discreet
- Flexibility to hold a memorial at a time and place of your choosing
