Direct Cremations
Direct cremation is a simple and straightforward option that involves the cremation of the deceased without any formal funeral service or ceremony. Instead, the ashes are returned to the family for them to do with as they wish. One of the main benefits of direct cremation is that it is typically much more affordable than a traditional funeral. This is because there are no additional costs associated with a formal service or ceremony.
However, it is important to note that a direct cremation may not be suitable for everyone. For some families, the opportunity to say goodbye in a more formal setting may be important, and they may prefer a traditional funeral service. It is also worth considering that a direct cremation does not provide the same level of closure as a formal ceremony, which can be important for some families.
