Direct and Contemporary Options – Pricing Information

Cremation fees are included in our Direct Option and in our Contemporary Option.

On all services a Doctors certificate fee (required in England and Wales only when the Coroner is not involved) is payable at the standard rate set by the government of £82.00 in total and is not included in the quoted price.

Cremated remains (ashes) can be returned to you by hand and within 28 days of the date of the cremation. This service is available anywhere in mainland UK for an additional charge of £100.

The prices quoted above are the totals needed to satisfy the selected option. Normally there would be nothing extra to pay.

The only circumstances where the additional cost would be incurred is if removal is needed from either a private residence or a nursing home or the deceased requires a coffin larger than 6′ 3″ x 24″ (1.91m x 61cm). In both cases, an additional £250.00 would be charged. We only engage quality local funeral directors to work with us.

The “Direct Option” relates to cremations taking place in a Memoria facility without a service. Our “Contemporary Option” caters for families wishing to have an attended service at a Memoria facility. We offer a service guarantee and a 1-hour slot (to include arrival and departure) for services at Memoria crematoria in the case of our “Contemporary Option”.

Further services, such as the provision of a hearse, limousines, a chapel of rest, a selected type of coffin, embalming and pallbearers etc. are not provided. The need to provide one or more of these services constitutes a traditional funeral service and therefore this scheme is not applicable and a funeral director of your choice should be contacted directly in order that he/she can supply the same.
