    What are unattended funerals?

    Unattended funerals are the simplest type of cremation service for those who don’t require traditional funeral elements. Unattended funerals don’t include a ceremony, procession or service. Instead, unattended funerals are where the deceased goes directly to the crematorium to be cremated.

    Why choose unattended funerals?

    Many choose unattended funerals for their own funeral plans, or a loved one. Here’s why our unattended funerals are so popular…

    • Unattended funerals are cheaper

    Our unattended funerals are available from £975 which is typically cheaper than a traditional funeral. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, then unattended funerals could save a considerable amount.

    • No time constraints

    Unlike unattended funerals, traditional funerals are typically planned soon after death. Instead, unattended funerals give more flexibility with no time constraints. This means that you’ll have more time to grieve, adjust and plan.

    • No funeral or cremation service

    Not everyone would like a funeral or cremation service, and if this is the case then unattended funerals could be the answer. Saying goodbye is a highly personal experience and our unattended funerals alleviate any concerns about attending a funeral.

    • Non-religious funerals

    If you and/or your loved ones aren’t religious, then unattended funerals could be right for you. Our unattended funerals give you the flexibility to organise a celebration of life or memorial service in ways that you see fit.

    • Less fuss

    Unattended funerals can provide relief if you’d like a simple farewell with minimal fuss. Unattended funerals don’t require flowers, an elaborate coffin, music and more, and could be the right option for you.

    If you have special requests or any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Our friendly and compassionate team are here to help and assist with any queries you may have about unattended funerals.
