Greater Manchester Direct Cremations: Simple, Affordable, and Stress-Free Farewells

We are a family-run business with over 30 years of experience, proudly serving families throughout Greater Manchester, including the boroughs of Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Wigan, and Bolton. Our Direct Cremation services are designed to be low-cost and straightforward, making the process as stress-free as possible for families during difficult times.

Direct Cremations in Greater Manchester & Surrounding Areas

A Direct Cremation is an affordable funeral option that offers a simple, unattended cremation without a formal service. This straightforward approach is becoming increasingly popular within our local communities due to its cost-effectiveness, especially during challenging economic times. It also reduces emotional stress for those who may not feel prepared for a traditional public funeral or who wish for a more private farewell.

Our family run and experienced team is committed to delivering Direct Cremation services with the utmost professionalism and respect. With us, you can count on compassionate and reliable care - that’s the essence of Greater Manchester Direct Cremations.

Since Direct Cremations do not include a service, many families choose to hold a wake or a Celebration of Life gathering afterward, allowing for a personalised tribute that best reflects the memory of their loved one. Whatever way you choose to honour and remember your loved one, we are here to support you every step of the way.
